Hadoop With Spark

Overview

Hadoop is a mature Big Data environment and Hive is the de-facto standard for the SQL interface. Today, the computations in Hadoop are usually done with Spark. Spark offers an optimized compute engine that includes batch, and real-time streaming, and machine learning.

This course covers Hadoop 3, Hive 3, and Spark 3.
