Description:

Explore reasons why not all users should have free reign over all data sets, when managing a data warehouse. In this 9-video Skillsoft Aspire course, learners explore how file permissions can be viewed and configured in HDFS (Hadoop File Management System) and how the NameNode UI is used to monitor and explore HDFS. For this course, you need a good understanding of Hadoop and HDFS, along with familiarity with the HDFS shells, and confidence in working with and manipulating files on HDFS, and exploring it from the command line. The course focuses on different ways to view permissions, which are linked to files and directories, and how these can be modified. Learners explore automating many tasks involving HDFS by simply scripting them, and to use HDFS NameNode UI to monitor the distributed file system, and explore its contents. Review distributed computing and big data. The closing exercise involves writing a command to be used on the HDFS dfs shell to count the number of files within a directory on HDFS, and to perform related tasks.

Description:

In this Skillsoft Aspire course, learners will encounter basic Hadoop file system operations such as viewing the contents of directories and creating new ones. This 8-video course assumes good understanding of what Hadoop is, and how HDFS enables processing of big data in parallel by distributing large data sets across a cluster; learners should also be familiar with running commands from the Linux shell, with some fluency in basic Linux file system commands. Begin by working with files in various ways, including transferring files between a local file system and HDFS (Hadoop Distributed File System) and explore ways to create and delete files on HDFS. Then examine different ways to modify files on HDFS. After exploring the distributed computing concept, prepare to begin working with HDFS in a production setting. In the closing exercise, write a command to create a directory/data/products/files on HDFS, for which data/products may not exist; list two commands for two copy operations—one from local file system to HDFS, and another for reverse transfer, from HDFS to local host.

Description:

In this Skillsoft Aspire course, learners discover how to set up a Hadoop Cluster on the cloud and explore bundled web apps—the YARN Cluster Manager app and the HDFS (Hadoop Distributed File System) NameNode UI. This 9-video course assumes a good understanding of what Hadoop is, and how HDFS enables processing of big data in parallel by distributing large data sets across a cluster; learners should also be familiar with running commands from the Linux shell, with some fluency in basic Linux file system commands. The course opens by exploring two web applications which are packaged with Hadoop, the UI for the YARN cluster manager, and the node name UI for HDFS. Learners then explore two shells which can be used to work with HDFS, the Hadoop FS shell and Hadoop DFS shell. Next, you will explore basic commands which can be used to navigate HDFS; discuss their similarities with Linux file system commands; and discuss distributed computing. In a closing exercise, practice identifying web applications used to explore and also monitor Hadoop.

Description:

Explore the concepts of analyzing large data sets in this 12-video Skillsoft Aspire course, which deals with Hadoop and its Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS), which enables parallel processing of big data efficiently in a distributed cluster. The course assumes a conceptual understanding of Hadoop and its components; purely theoretical, it contains no labs, with just enough information provided to understand how Hadoop and HDFS allow processing big data in parallel. The course opens by explaining the ideas of vertical and horizontal scaling, then discusses functions served by Hadoop to horizontally scale data processing tasks. Learners explore functions of YARN, MapReduce, and HDFS, covering how HDFS keeps track of where all pieces of large files are distributed, replication of data, and how HDFS is used with Zookeeper: a tool maintained by the Apache Software Foundation and used to provide coordination and synchronization in distributed systems, along with other services related to distributed computing—a naming service, configuration management, and so on. Learn about Spark, a data analytics engine for distributed data processing.
