In this class, I will go over the basic tools for big data analysis, namely Hadoop, MapReduce, Hive and Apache Pig. We will go through several examples in order to build an indepth understanding of these different languages and tools. I will provide some simple examples as a starting point and we will work through them using Hadoop, MapReduce, Hive and Pig.

Join us to learn about Hadoop and related technologies, including use cases, new features and exciting networking with other hadopp professionals. See past meetups on YDNTheater Channel on YouTube, presentation slides available on Slideshare.

I am planning to form this group to have hands on all Distributed Databases technologies and build our own hadoop cluster and use various hadoop flavors including Hadoop,HDFS,Hive,Pig,HQL. Also have hands on all Nosql Technologies like Cassandra,MongoDB etc. We would also like to go over R programming tool as part of Haddop Analysis. We would like to compare Hadoop vs any Relational DB and MPP Dbs to find some of the use cases where it could really helpful . Also we would like to solve some Indu …

You have the questions? Our Gurus have the answers! Once every month, we will have one guru, in either Big Data or Cloud domain, answer questions impromptu from attendees.  Questions can be technical ("I am trying to setup Hadoop on my laptop") or non technical ("I am trying to understand players in Hadoop world") We also have a on-going hackathon series aimed at developers who want to learn hadoop.  These are hands on sessions where attendees learn and develop a new concept.

This is a meetup group for users and contributors to Apache Sqoop (incubating). Sqoop is a system designed for efficiently transferring bulk data between Apache Hadoop and structured datastores such as relational databases. You can use Sqoop to import data from external structured datastores into Hadoop Distributed File System or related systems like Hive and HBase. Conversely, Sqoop can be used to extract data from Hadoop and export it to external structured datastores such as relational datab …

Running a Hadoop cluster using Cloudera Manager? Using Cloudera Manager to monitor and operate your Hadoop infrastructure? Share your experiences and best practices with other users and learn more from Cloudera engineers who will be on hand.

Hive is a scalable data warehouse infrastructure built on top of Hadoop. It provides tools to enable easy data ETL, a mechanism to put structures on the data, and the capability to querying and analysis of large data sets stored in Hadoop files. Hive defines a simple SQL-like query language, called HiveQL, that enables users familiar with SQL to query the data. At the same time, this language also allows programmers who are familiar with the MapReduce fromwork to be able to plug in their custom …
