HDP Developer: Custom YARN Applications Training

This course is designed for developers who want to create custom YARN applications for Apache Hadoop. It will include: the YARN architecture, YARN development steps, writing a YARN client and ApplicationMaster, and launching Containers. The course uses Eclipse and Gradle connected remotely to a 7-node HDP cluster running in a virtual machine.

Students should be experienced Java developers who have attended HDP Developer: Java OR HDP Developer: Pig and HiveOR are experienced with Hadoop and MapReduce development.

Architects, software developers, analysts and data scientists who need to apply data science and machine learning on Hadoop.
