Big Data Analytics with Hadoop 3

By: Sridhar Alla

Overview of this book

Apache Hadoop is the most popular platform for big data processing, and can be combined with a host of other big data tools to build powerful analytics solutions. Big Data Analytics with Hadoop 3 shows you how to do just that, by providing insights into the software as well as its benefits with the help of practical examples. Once you have taken a tour of Hadoop 3’s latest features, you will get an overview of HDFS, MapReduce, and YARN, and how they enable faster, more efficient big data processing. You will then move on to learning how to integrate Hadoop with the open source tools, such as Python and R, to analyze and visualize data and perform statistical computing on big data. As you get acquainted with all this, you will explore how to use Hadoop 3 with Apache Spark and Apache Flink for real-time data analytics and stream processing. In addition to this, you will understand how to use Hadoop to build analytics solutions on the cloud and an end-to-end pipeline to perform big data analysis using practical use cases. By the end of this book, you will be well-versed with the analytical capabilities of the Hadoop ecosystem. You will be able to build powerful solutions to perform big data analytics and get insight effortlessly.

Amazon Kinesis Data Streams


You can use Amazon Kinesis Data Streams to collect and process large streams of data records in real time. You'll create data-processing applications, known as Amazon Kinesis Data Streams applications. A typical Amazon Kinesis Data Streams application reads data from a Kinesis data stream as data records. These applications can use the Kinesis Client Library, and they can run on Amazon EC2 instances. The processed records can be sent to dashboards, used to generate alerts, dynamically change pricing and advertising strategies, or to send data to a variety of other AWS services. For information about Kinesis Data Streams features and pricing, see Amazon Kinesis Data Streams.

Kinesis Data Streams is part of the Kinesis streaming data platform, along with Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose. For more information, see the Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose Developer Guide. For more information about AWS big data solutions, see Big Data. For more information about AWS streaming...
