In this course, you will start by learning about the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) and the most common Hadoop commands required to work with HDFS. Next, you’ll be introduced to Sqoop Import, which will help you gain insights into the lifecycle of the Sqoop command and how to use the import command to migrate data from MySQL to HDFS, and from MySQL to Hive. In addition to this, you will get up to speed with Sqoop Export for migrating data effectively, along with using Apache Flume to ingest data. As you progress, you will delve into Apache Hive, external and managed tables, working with different files, and Parquet and Avro. Toward the concluding section, you will focus on Spark DataFrames and Spark SQL. By the end of this course, you will have gained comprehensive insights into big data ingestion and analytics with Flume, Sqoop, Hive, and Spark.
