Combined Hadoop for Administrators and Developers

Course Number:

N/A

Apache Hadoop is the most popular framework for processing Big Data on clusters of servers. During this five-day course, attendees will learn about the business benefits and use cases for Hadoop and its ecosystem; how to plan cluster deployment and growth; and how to install, maintain, monitor, troubleshoot and optimize Hadoop. They will also practice cluster bulk data load, become familiar with various Hadoop distribution and practice installing and managing Hadoop ecosystem tools. The section will conclude with discussion of securing cluster with Kerberos.
