Overview:

Cloudera University’s Data Analyst Training course focuses on Apache Pig, Apache Hive, and Apache Impala. You will learn how to apply traditional data analytics and business intelligence skills to big data. Cloudera presents the tools data professionals need to access, manipulate, transform, and analyze complex data sets using SQL and familiar scripting languages.

Delivery Method and Course Duration:

Classroom: 4 days

Objectives:

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

• The features that Pig, Hive, and Impala offer for data acquisition, storage, and analysis
• The fundamentals of Apache Hadoop and data ETL (extract, transform, load), ingestion, and processing with Hadoop
• How Pig, Hive, and Impala improve productivity for typical analysis tasks
• Joining diverse datasets to gain valuable business insight
• Performing real-time, complex queries on datasets

Intended Audience & Prerequisites:

This course is designed for data analysts, business intelligence specialists, developers, system architects, and database administrators. Knowledge of SQL is assumed, as is basic Linux command-line familiarity. Knowledge of at least one scripting language (e.g., Bash scripting, Perl, Python, Ruby) would be helpful but is not essential. Prior knowledge of Apache Hadoop is not required

Advance your ecosystem expertise:

Apache Pig applies the fundamentals of familiar scripting languages to the Hadoop cluster. Apache Hive makes transformation and analysis of complex, multi-structured data scalable in Hadoop. Cloudera Impala enables real-time interactive analysis of the data stored in Hadoop via a native SQL environment. Together, Pig, Hive, and Impala make multi-structured data accessible to analysts, database administrators, and others without Java programming expertise
