  The agenda will include:

  • The rationale for Hadoop
  • Understanding the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) and MapReduce
  • Common Hadoop use cases including recommendation engines, ETL, time-series analysis and more
  • How Hadoop integrates with other systems like Relational Databases and Data Warehouses
  • Overview of the other components in a typical Hadoop “stack” such as these Apache projects: Hive, Pig, HBase, Sqoop, Flume and Oozie
  • Hadoop
  • HBase
  • HDFS
  • Hive
