Overview of this book

The complex structure of data these days requires sophisticated solutions for data transformation, to make the information more accessible to the users.This book empowers you to build such solutions with relative ease with the help of Apache Hadoop, along with a host of other Big Data tools. This book will give you a complete understanding of the data lifecycle management with Hadoop, followed by modeling of structured and unstructured data in Hadoop. It will also show you how to design real-time streaming pipelines by leveraging tools such as Apache Spark, and build efficient enterprise search solutions using Elasticsearch. You will learn to build enterprise-grade analytics solutions on Hadoop, and how to visualize your data using tools such as Apache Superset. This book also covers techniques for deploying your Big Data solutions on the cloud Apache Ambari, as well as expert techniques for managing and administering your Hadoop cluster. By the end of this book, you will have all the knowledge you need to build expert Big Data systems.

Apache NiFi

What is Apache NiFi? In any organization, we know that there is a variety of systems. Some systems generate the data and other systems consume that data. Apache NiFi is built to automate that data flow from one system to another. Apache NiFi is a data flow management system that comes with a web UI that helps to build data flows in real time. It supports flow-based programming. The graph programming includes a series of nodes and edges through which data moves. In NiFi, these nodes are translated into processors, and the edges into connectors. The data is stored in a packet of information called a FlowFile. This FlowFile includes content, attributes, and edges. As a user, you connect processors together using connectors to define how the data should be handled.
