Cloudera Administrator Training for Apache Hadoop Training in South Africa

There are no prerequisites for this course.

This course is best suited to systems administrators and IT managers who have basic Linux experience. Prior knowledge of Apache Hadoop is not required.

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

• Cloudera Manager features that make managing your clusters easier, such as aggregated logging, configuration management, resource management, reports,  alerts, and service management.
• The internals of YARN, MapReduce, Spark, and HDFS
• Determining the correct hardware and infrastructure for your cluster
• Proper cluster configuration and deployment to integrate with the data center
• How to load data into the cluster from dynamically-generated files using Flume  and from RDBMS using Sqoop
• Configuring the FairScheduler to provide service-level agreements for multiple users  of a cluster
• Best practices for preparing and maintaining Apache Hadoop in production
• Troubleshooting, diagnosing, tuning, and solving Hadoop issues
