Data scientists build information platforms to provide deep insight and answer previously unimaginable questions. Spark and Hadoop are transforming how data scientists work by allowing interactive and iterative data analysis at scale.

Learn how Spark and Hadoop enable data scientists to help companies reduce costs, increase profits, improve products, retain customers, and identify new opportunities.

Cloudera University’s three-day course helps participants understand what data scientists do, the problems they solve, and the tools and techniques they use. Through in-class simulations, participants apply data science methods to real-world challenges in different industries and, ultimately, prepare for data scientist roles in the field.

There are no prerequisites for this course.

This course is suitable for developers, data analysts, and statisticians with basic knowledge  of Apache Hadoop: HDFS, MapReduce, Hadoop Streaming, and Apache Hive as well as experience working in Linux environments. Students should have proficiency in a scripting language; Python is strongly preferred, but familiarity with Perl or Ruby is sufficient

Through instructor-led discussion and interactive, hands-on exercises, participants will navigate the Hadoop ecosystem, and develop concrete skills such as:

  • How to identify potential business use cases where data science can provide impactful results
  • How to obtain, clean and combine disparate data sources to create a coherent picture for analysis
  • What statistical methods to leverage for data exploration that will provide critical insight into your data
  • Where and when to leverage Hadoop streaming and Apache Spark for data science pipelines
  • What machine learning technique to use for a particular data science project
  • How to implement and manage recommenders using Spark’s MLlib, and how to set up and evaluate data experiments
  • What are the pitfalls of deploying new analytics projects to production, at scale

Data Science at Scale using Spark and Hadoop Training Course in Netherlands

The Netherlands, which is also informally known as Holland, is a country located in Northwestern Europe with overseas territories in the Caribbean. The four largest cities are Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague and Utrecht. Amsterdam is the country's most populous city and the nominal capital, while The Hague holds the seat of the States General, Cabinet and Supreme Court. Rotterdam is the second largest city and has the largest port in Europe. The importance of the Netherlands for Europe is so huge that it cannot be ignored. The country is a founding member of the European Union, Eurozone, G10, NATO, OECD, and WTO.

The tourist attractions of the Netherlands are windmills, canals, and tulips. Canals are an important part of Amsterdam's cityscape and Keukenhof, the Garden of Europe, is the largest public garden in the world. The National Museum Rijksmuseum and the Anne Frank House are must-see places in the Netherlands.
