Python, Spark, and Hadoop for Big Data

• Experience with Spark and Hadoop
• Python programming experience

Audience

• Data scientists
• Developers

Python is a scalable, flexible, and widely used programming language for data science and machine learning. Spark is a data processing engine used in querying, analyzing, and transforming big data, while Hadoop is a software library framework for large-scale data storage and processing.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at developers who wish to use and integrate Spark, Hadoop, and Python to process, analyze, and transform large and complex data sets.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Set up the necessary environment to start processing big data with Spark, Hadoop, and Python.
• Understand the features, core components, and architecture of Spark and Hadoop.
• Learn how to integrate Spark, Hadoop, and Python for big data processing.
• Explore the tools in the Spark ecosystem (Spark MlLib, Spark Streaming, Kafka, Sqoop, Kafka, and Flume).
• Build collaborative filtering recommendation systems similar to Netflix, YouTube, Amazon, Spotify, and Google.
• Use Apache Mahout to scale machine learning algorithms.

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Lots of exercises and practice.
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
