The Big Data Analytics course offers a deep dive into the technologies, tools, and techniques used to process and analyze large-scale data. Learners will explore the Hadoop and Spark ecosystems, gaining hands-on experience with essential components such as Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS), MapReduce, Pig, and Hive. The course also covers both relational (SQL) and nonrelational (NoSQL) databases, helping learners understand the appropriate contexts for each type of data storage.

Welcome to the Big Data Analytics course! By the end of this course, you will develop an understanding of the various technologies associated with Hadoop and the Spark ecosystem of tools and technologies. You will get hands-on experience working with core Hadoop components like MapReduce and Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS). You will learn to write Pig scripts and Hive queries and extract data stored across Hadoop clusters. You will also learn about relational (SQL) and nonrelational (NoSQL) databases and discuss scenarios in which one is preferred over the other for data storage. You will also gain insight into the Spark ecosystem which makes running jobs across clusters very fast, thereby having several emerging applications. You will also learn a hands-on example of implementing and deploying a machine-learning application that handles streaming data on the cloud. This is an advanced-level course, intended for learners with a background using predictive tools and techniques, experience in writing basic Structured Query Language (SQL) queries, and an understanding of Python programming. The knowledge you gain from this course will help you make a career as a business analyst. You will gain skills to draw insights from data that has characteristics of high velocity, volume, and variety. The data with such characteristics is called big data and is increasingly being used by organizations for competitive advantage and decision-making. In this module, you will learn about Big Data applications and the various components of the Hadoop ecosystem. The module also discusses the MapReduce paradigm that facilitates distributed processing of data. You will also gain an insight into the HDFS and use it for storing files. Hands-on examples are provided using Hortonworks Data Platform Sandbox, which can be installed on a Windows/Mac computer with at least 8 GB of available RAM.

In this module, you will learn about the Hive scripting language and its usage for mining data from Hadoop clusters. Hive provides an SQL dialect called Hive Query Language (abbreviated HiveQL or just HQL) for querying data stored in a Hadoop cluster. Hive is most suited for data warehouse applications, where relatively static data is analyzed, fast response times are not required, and when the data is not changing rapidly. Hive makes it easier for developers to port SQL-based applications to Hadoop, compared with other Hadoop languages and tools. Like all SQL dialects in widespread use, it does not fully conform to any particular revision of the ANSI SQL standard. It is perhaps closest to MySQL’s dialect, but with significant differences. Hive supports several sizes of integer and floating-point types, a boolean type, and character strings of arbitrary length. Lastly, taking a real-world data set, you will load it in the Ambari environment for analysis using HDFS and HQL. You will go through the process of creating tables, loading data, and analyzing it using a Hive Query Language.

In this module, you will learn about the Pig Latin scripting language and how you can leverage it to query big data on Hadoop clusters. You will also learn about the different data types and commands available in the Pig Latin language and how they can be used to define and manipulate data in the Hadoop ecosystem. Furthermore, you will be to work on a practical example of a publicly available data set to run Pig Latin scripts for data analysis.

In this module, you will be introduced to the need for NoSQL databases. You will also get introduced to HBase, a NoSQL database, and its role in the Hadoop ecosystem. You will learn about the CAP theorem and how it affects the trade-offs between choosing the different NoSQL database options available on Hadoop. You will also learn about CAP consistency, availability, and partition tolerance in detail and how they affect our choice of technology to access and manipulate data on Hadoop. Lastly, you will get insights into other emerging cloud-based NoSQL solutions.

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
