Build practical big data analytics skills using Apache Hive, Pig, MapReduce, Sqoop, HDFS, and the Hadoop ecosystem. You’ll begin with Hive architecture and database commands, then create and manage external tables, partitions, and buckets. As you progress, you’ll apply constraints such as NOT NULL, UNIQUE, and CHECK and build advanced tables using CTAS, STORED AS, and ROW FORMAT. You’ll then import social media data from an RDBMS into HDFS with Sqoop and execute MapReduce programs to process XML files. Through location-, author-, and reader-based analysis, you’ll examine book performance and preferences within large-scale datasets. Finally, you’ll write Pig Latin scripts to parse XML data, explore and persist results with DUMP, STORE, and DESCRIBE, and combine Hive complex data types with MapReduce to analyze bookmarking datasets and user interactions. Designed for professionals, students, and data enthusiasts, this course connects foundational Hive knowledge with practical data integration, processing, and analysis. Its two hands-on case studies—one in telecom and one in social media analytics—help you apply Hadoop tools to realistic data challenges. Enroll to build a structured workflow for managing complex data, running distributed processing jobs, and extracting meaningful insights at scale.

Syllabus

  • Foundations of Hive and Big Data
    • This module introduces Apache Hive and its role in the Hadoop ecosystem. Learners will explore Hive’s basic features, database commands, table operations, and foundational concepts like external tables, partitions, and bucketing. By the end, they will have a strong foundation to query and manage data effectively in Hadoop using Hive.
  • Optimizing Data with Hive
    • This module dives deeper into advanced Hive functionality, including table constraints and complex table creation. Learners will understand how to design optimized tables and implement constraints to improve schema structure and maintainability in Hive.
  • Social Media Data Integration and Processing
    • This module focuses on importing social media data into Hadoop, processing it with MapReduce, and analyzing it for insights. Learners will practice using Sqoop for RDBMS to HDFS transfers, run MapReduce programs, and analyze datasets by location, authors, and reader preferences.
  • Social Media Insights with Pig and Hive
    • This module explores Pig and Hive for advanced social media analytics. Learners will process XML data with Pig, store and explore outputs, and utilize Hive complex data types with MapReduce for deep insights into bookmarking datasets and user interactions.
