Big Data Workshop

A one-day workshop focused on the practical side of using open-source, Big Data technologies. Participants will learn the basics of the most popular Big Data tools and technologies like: Hadoop, Hive, Spark and Kafka.

Training outcome

During the workshop you will act as a Big Data engineer and analyst working for a fictional company StreamRockTM that creates an application for music streaming (like Spotify). The main goal of your work is to take advantage of Big Data technologies such as Hadoop, Spark or Hive to analyse various datasets about the users and the songs they played. We will process data in a batch manner to get the data-driven answers to important business questions. Each exercise will be executed on a remote multi-node Hadoop cluster.
