Course Overview
Cloudera University’s four-day data analyst course is for anyone who wants to access, manipulate, transform, and analyze massive data sets in the Hadoop cluster using SQL and familiar scripting languages. This is the core curriculum in the data analyst learning path.
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.
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.
Who should attend
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.
Prerequisites
- Knowledge of SQL
- Basic Linux command-line familiarity
- Knowledge of at least one scripting language (e.g., Bash scripting, Perl, Python, Ruby)
- Prior knowledge of Apache Hadoop is not required
