Course description
Learn By Example: Hadoop, MapReduce for Big Data problems
About this course:
This course is a zoom-in, zoom-out, hands-on workout involving Hadoop, MapReduce and the art of thinking parallel. Let’s parse that. Zoom-in, Zoom-Out: This course is both broad and deep. It covers the individual components of Hadoop in great detail, and also gives you a higher level picture of how they interact with each other. Hands-on workout involving Hadoop, MapReduce : This course will get you hands-on with Hadoop very early on. You'll learn how to set up your own cluster using both VMs and the Cloud. All the major features of MapReduce are covered - including advanced topics like Total Sort and Secondary Sort. The art of thinking parallel: MapReduce completely changed the way people thought about processing Big Data. Breaking down any problem into parallelizable units is an art. The examples in this course will train you to think parallel.
The average salary for Data Scientist is $120,931 per year.

Who should attend?
Audience:
This course is intended for:
- Analysts who want to leverage the power of HDFS where traditional databases don't cut it anymore
- Engineers who want to develop complex distributed computing applications to process lot's of data
- Data Scientists who want to add MapReduce to their bag of tricks for processing dat
Prerequisites:
- You'll need an IDE where you can write Java code or open the source code that's shared. IntelliJ and Eclipse are both great options.
- You'll need some background in Object-Oriented Programming, preferably in Java. All the source code is in Java and we dive right in without going into Objects, Classes etc
- A bit of exposure to Linux/Unix shells would be helpful, but it won't be a blocker
