Big Data Architect's Handbook

By: Syed Muhammad Fahad Akhtar

Overview of this book

The big data architects are the “masters” of data, and hold high value in today’s market. Handling big data, be it of good or bad quality, is not an easy task. The prime job for any big data architect is to build an end-to-end big data solution that integrates data from different sources and analyzes it to find useful, hidden insights. Big Data Architect’s Handbook takes you through developing a complete, end-to-end big data pipeline, which will lay the foundation for you and provide the necessary knowledge required to be an architect in big data. Right from understanding the design considerations to implementing a solid, efficient, and scalable data pipeline, this book walks you through all the essential aspects of big data. It also gives you an overview of how you can leverage the power of various big data tools such as Apache Hadoop and ElasticSearch in order to bring them together and build an efficient big data solution. By the end of this book, you will be able to build your own design system which integrates, maintains, visualizes, and monitors your data. In addition, you will have a smooth design flow in each process, putting insights in action.

If the user interface is friendly and responsive, users of that application will interact and play around with it for longer period and also revisit it many times. But if the interface is complex and lags on different occasions, it makes the user frustrated and more likely to move away from that application. It doesn't matter whether the application has very strong backend architecture and database support; these things are irrelevant to the end user. The end user needs a very good-looking, friendly, interactive, and responsive application at their end; with this, any application can be on the road to success.

In this chapter, we will cover the following libraries in detail, along with their key concepts, with respect to building...
