Simplify Big Data Analytics with Amazon EMR

By: Sakti Mishra

Overview of this book

Amazon EMR, formerly Amazon Elastic MapReduce, provides a managed Hadoop cluster in Amazon Web Services (AWS) that you can use to implement batch or streaming data pipelines. By gaining expertise in Amazon EMR, you can design and implement data analytics pipelines with persistent or transient EMR clusters in AWS. This book is a practical guide to Amazon EMR for building data pipelines. You'll start by understanding the Amazon EMR architecture, cluster nodes, features, and deployment options, along with their pricing. Next, the book covers the various big data applications that EMR supports. You'll then focus on the advanced configuration of EMR applications, hardware, networking, security, troubleshooting, logging, and the different SDKs and APIs it provides. Later chapters will show you how to implement common Amazon EMR use cases, including batch ETL with Spark, real-time streaming with Spark Streaming, and handling UPSERT in S3 Data Lake with Apache Hudi. Finally, you'll orchestrate your EMR jobs and strategize on-premises Hadoop cluster migration to EMR. In addition to this, you'll explore best practices and cost optimization techniques while implementing your data analytics pipeline in EMR. By the end of this book, you'll be able to build and deploy Hadoop- or Spark-based apps on Amazon EMR and also migrate your existing on-premises Hadoop workloads to AWS.

Summary

Over the course of this chapter, we have dived deep into a real-time streaming use case, where we have integrated the data pipeline with Amazon S3, Amazon EMR, AWS Glue, and Amazon Athena.

We have covered detailed implementation steps, which you can follow to replicate the same or customize as per your use case. For our implementation, we have leveraged the Kinesis Data Generator UI tool to replicate clickstream data generation and push to Kinesis Data Streams. During your production implementation, your web application should push data to Kinesis Data Streams in real time.

At the end, we provided an overview of a few important parts of the EMR PySpark script, which can provide you with a starting point.

That concludes this chapter! Hopefully, this helped you get an idea of how you can integrate real-time streaming pipelines, and, in the next chapter, we will integrate another use case that implements UPSERT or MERGE in a data lake using the Apache Hudi framework...
