HDP Developer: Quick Start Training

Students should be familiar with programming principles and have experience in software development. SQL and light scripting knowledge is also helpful. No prior Hadoop knowledge is required.

Developers and data engineers who need to understand and develop applications on HDP.

Part I: High Level Overview

• Describe the Case for Hadoop
• Identify the Hadoop Ecosystem via architectural categories

Part II: Deeper Look & Demos (2 hrs)

• Detail the HDFS architecture
• Describe data ingestion options and frameworks for batch and real-time streaming
• Explain the fundamentals of parallel processing
• Detail the architecture and features of YARN
• Understand backup and recovery options
• Describe how to secure Hadoop

Live Demonstrations
