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.

Best practices Hadoop deployment

Following are some best practices to be followed for Hadoop deployment:

  • Start small: Like other software projects, an implementation Hadoop also involves risks and cost. It's always better to set up a small Hadoop cluster of four nodes. This small cluster can be set up as proof of concept (POC). Before using any Hadoop component, it can be added to the existing Hadoop POC cluster as proof of technology (POT). It allows the infrastructure and development team to understand big data project requirements. After successful completion of POC and POT, additional nodes can be added to the existing cluster.
  • Hadoop cluster monitoring: Proper monitoring of the NameNode and all DataNodes is required to understand the health of the cluster. It helps to take corrective actions in the event of node problems. If a service goes down, timely action can help...
