Course description
Big Data development is a growing field and understanding how technologies such as the MapReduce Combiner and HBase can make data analysis easier is important. Learn how to use the Combiner, look deeply at HBase, a NoSQL tool for managing the storage and retrieval of large and diverse data sets, and create a starter app to use HBase in Java.
Prerequisites
You should have some programming background and some familiarity with a Unix-based operating system. No specific experience with Java programming language or Hadoop is required. As with any such course, the more experience you bring to the course, the more you’ll get out of it. This course moves quickly through a broad range of topics, but it does not require any prior experience with Hadoop. The course does assume that you are well familiarized with how to use the version of Windows that you are running. For example, the course might say simply “Open PuTTY” without explaining how to do that. You should also be able to navigate the folder hierarchy using Windows Explorer.
