Amazon EMR can be used to build a variety of applications such as recommendation engines, data analysis, log processing, event/clickstream analysis, data transformations (ETL), fraud detection, scientific simulations, genomics, financial analysis, or data correlation in various industries. The following section outlines some of the use cases in detail.
We can use EMR to process logs to understand the usage of content such as video, file downloads, top web URLs accessed by end users, user consumption from different parts of the world, and many more. We can process any web or mobile application logs using EMR to understand specific business insights relevant for your business. We can move all our web access application or mobile logs to Amazon S3 for analysis using EMR even if we are not using AWS for running our production applications.
