Modern Big Data Processing with Hadoop

By: V Naresh Kumar, Manoj R Patil, Prashant Shindgikar

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 Spark 2

Apache Spark is a general-purpose cluster computing system. It's very well suited for large-scale data processing. It performs 100 times better than Hadoop when run completely in-memory and 10 times better when run entirely from disk. It has a sophisticated directed acyclic graph execution engine that supports an acyclic data flow model.

Apache Spark has first-class support for writing programs in Java, Scala, Python, and R programming languages to cater to a wider audience. It offers more than 80 different operators to build parallel applications without worrying about the underlying infrastructure.

Apache Spark has libraries catering to Structured Query Language, known as Spark SQL; this supports writing queries in programs using ANSI SQL. It also has support for computing streaming data, which is very much needed in today's real-time data processing...
