Varieties of Data: Introduction to Data Cleaning issue in Big Data
- RDBMS – static structure/schema, doesn’t promote agile, exploratory environment.
- NoSQL – semi structured, enough structure to store data without exact schema before storing data
- Data cleaning issues
Day-1 : Session-4 : Big Data Introduction-3 : Hadoop
- When to select Hadoop?
- STRUCTURED - Enterprise data warehouses/databases can store massive data (at a cost) but impose structure (not good for active exploration)
- SEMI STRUCTURED data – tough to do with traditional solutions (DW/DB)
- Warehousing data = HUGE effort and static even after implementation
- For variety & volume of data, crunched on commodity hardware – HADOOP
- Commodity H/W needed to create a Hadoop Cluster
Introduction to Map Reduce /HDFS
- MapReduce – distribute computing over multiple servers
- HDFS – make data available locally for the computing process (with redundancy)
- Data – can be unstructured/schema-less (unlike RDBMS)
- Developer responsibility to make sense of data
- Programming MapReduce = working with Java (pros/cons), manually loading data into HDFS
Day-2: Session-1: Big Data Ecosystem-Building Big Data ETL: universe of Big Data Tools-which one to use and when?
- Hadoop vs. Other NoSQL solutions
- For interactive, random access to data
- Hbase (column oriented database) on top of Hadoop
- Random access to data but restrictions imposed (max 1 PB)
- Not good for ad-hoc analytics, good for logging, counting, time-series
- Sqoop - Import from databases to Hive or HDFS (JDBC/ODBC access)
- Flume – Stream data (e.g. log data) into HDFS
