Varieties of Data: Introduction to Data Cleaning issue in Big Data

  • RDBMS – static structure/schema, doesn’t promote agile, exploratory environment.
  • NoSQL – semi structured, enough structure to store data without exact schema before storing data
  • Data cleaning issues

Day-1 : Session-4 : Big Data Introduction-3 : Hadoop

  • When to select Hadoop?
  • STRUCTURED - Enterprise data warehouses/databases can store massive data (at a cost) but impose structure (not good for active exploration)
  • SEMI STRUCTURED data – tough to do with traditional solutions (DW/DB)
  • Warehousing data = HUGE effort and static even after implementation
  • For variety & volume of data, crunched on commodity hardware – HADOOP
  • Commodity H/W needed to create a Hadoop Cluster

Introduction to Map Reduce /HDFS

  • MapReduce – distribute computing over multiple servers
  • HDFS – make data available locally for the computing process (with redundancy)
  • Data – can be unstructured/schema-less (unlike RDBMS)
  • Developer responsibility to make sense of data
  • Programming MapReduce = working with Java (pros/cons), manually loading data into HDFS

Day-2: Session-1: Big Data Ecosystem-Building Big Data ETL: universe of Big Data Tools-which one to use and when?

  • Hadoop vs. Other NoSQL solutions
  • For interactive, random access to data
  • Hbase (column oriented database) on top of Hadoop
  • Random access to data but restrictions imposed (max 1 PB)
  • Not good for ad-hoc analytics, good for logging, counting, time-series
  • Sqoop - Import from databases to Hive or HDFS (JDBC/ODBC access)
  • Flume – Stream data (e.g. log data) into HDFS

Day-2: Session-2: Big Data Management System

  • Moving parts, compute nodes start/fail :ZooKeeper - For configuration/coordination/naming services
