Hadoop for Developers (4 days) Training Course

Audience:

This course is designed for IT professionals seeking effective solutions for storing and processing large datasets within a distributed system environment.

Objective:

To acquire in-depth expertise in administering Hadoop clusters.

Big data analytics is the process of examining large volumes of diverse datasets to uncover correlations, hidden patterns, and valuable insights.

The healthcare sector generates vast amounts of complex, heterogeneous medical and clinical data. Leveraging big data analytics on health data holds significant potential for deriving insights that improve healthcare delivery. However, the sheer scale of these datasets presents substantial challenges for analysis and practical application within clinical environments.

During this instructor-led, live training (delivered remotely), participants will learn how to conduct big data analytics in healthcare by completing a series of hands-on, live-lab exercises.

Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:

• Install and configure big data analytics tools such as Hadoop MapReduce and Spark
• Understand the characteristics of medical data
• Apply big data techniques to manage medical data
• Study big data systems and algorithms in the context of healthcare applications

Audience

• Developers
• Data Scientists

Course Format

• A blend of lectures, discussions, exercises, and intensive hands-on practice.

Apache Hadoop stands as the leading framework for processing Big Data across server clusters. This three-day (or optionally four-day) program enables participants to understand the business advantages and real-world applications of Hadoop and its broader ecosystem. The curriculum covers planning for cluster deployment and scalability, as well as installing, maintaining, monitoring, troubleshooting, and optimizing Hadoop environments. Attendees will gain practical experience with bulk data loading, explore various Hadoop distributions, and manage ecosystem tools. The course concludes with a focus on securing clusters using Kerberos.

“The course materials were exceptionally well-prepared and thorough. The laboratory sessions were highly beneficial and expertly organized.”

Audience

Hadoop system administrators

Format

A blend of theoretical lectures and practical hands-on labs, maintaining an approximate ratio of 60% lectures to 40% lab work.

Apache Hadoop stands out as one of the most widely used frameworks for processing Big Data across server clusters. This course provides an in-depth exploration of data management within HDFS, alongside advanced techniques for Pig, Hive, and HBase. These advanced programming strategies are particularly valuable for experienced Hadoop developers.

Audience: developers

Duration: three days

Format: lectures (50%) and hands-on labs (50%).

Target Audience:

This course is designed to demystify big data and Hadoop technology, demonstrating that it is accessible and easy to understand.

This instructor-led live training in Greece (online or onsite) targets system administrators who wish to learn how to set up, deploy and manage Hadoop clusters within their organization.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Install and configure Apache Hadoop.
• Understand the four major components in the Hadoop ecoystem: HDFS, MapReduce, YARN, and Hadoop Common.
• Use Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) to scale a cluster to hundreds or thousands of nodes.  
• Set up HDFS to operate as storage engine for on-premise Spark deployments.
• Set up Spark to access alternative storage solutions such as Amazon S3 and NoSQL database systems such as Redis, Elasticsearch, Couchbase, Aerospike, etc.
• Carry out administrative tasks such as provisioning, management, monitoring and securing an Apache Hadoop cluster.

This course provides an introduction to HBase, a NoSQL database built on top of Hadoop. It is designed for developers who intend to build applications using HBase, as well as administrators responsible for managing HBase clusters.

The curriculum guides developers through HBase's architecture, data modeling techniques, and application development processes. It also covers the integration of MapReduce with HBase and addresses key administration topics, including performance optimization. The course is highly practical, featuring numerous lab exercises.

Duration : 3 days

Audience : Developers & Administrators

Apache NiFi is an open-source platform designed for flow-based data integration and event processing. It facilitates automated, real-time data routing, transformation, and system mediation between diverse systems, featuring a web-based UI that offers fine-grained control.
