Analysts and data scientists typically have to work with several systems to effectively manage mass sets of data. Spark, on the other hand, provides you a single engine to explore and work with large amounts of data, run machine learning algorithms, and perform many other functions in a single interactive environment. This course’s focus on new and innovating technologies in data science and machine learning makes it an excellent one for anyone who wants to work in the lucrative, growing field of Big Data.

For Big Data engineers and data analysts, HBase is an extremely effective databasing tool for organizing and manage massive data sets. HBase allows an increased level of flexibility, providing column oriented storage, no fixed schema and low latency to accommodate the dynamically changing needs of applications. With the 25 examples contained in this course, you’ll get a complete grasp of HBase that you can leverage in interviews for Big Data positions.

• Explore CRUD operations in the shell, & with the Java API

Think about the last time you saw a completely unorganized spreadsheet. Now imagine that spreadsheet was 100,000 times larger. Mind-boggling, right? That’s why there’s Pig. Pig works with unstructured data to wrestle it into a more palatable form that can be stored in a data warehouse for reporting and analysis. With the massive sets of disorganized data many companies are working with today, people who can work with Pig are in major demand. By the end of this course, you could qualify as one of those people.

• Access 34 lectures & 5 hours of content 24/7
• Clean up server logs using Pig
• Work w/ unstructured data to extract information, transform it, & store it in a usable form
• Write intermediate level Pig scripts to munge data
• Optimize Pig operations to work on large data sets

Data sets can outgrow traditional databases, much like children outgrow clothes. Unlike, children’s growth patterns, however, massive amounts of data can be extremely unpredictable and unstructured. For Big Data, the Cassandra distributed database is the solution, using partitioning and replication to ensure that your data is structured and available even when nodes in a cluster go down. Children, you’re on your own.
