A fast paced guide that will help you learn about Apache Hadoop 3 and its ecosystem Key FeaturesSet up, configure and get started with Hadoop to get useful insights from large data setsWork with the different components of Hadoop such as MapReduce, HDFS and YARN Learn about the new features introduced in Hadoop 3Book Description Apache Hadoop is a widely used distributed data platform. It enables large datasets to be efficiently processed instead of using one large computer to store and process the data. This book will get you started with the Hadoop ecosystem, and introduce you to the main technical topics, including MapReduce, YARN, and HDFS. The book begins with an overview of big data and Apache Hadoop. Then, you will set up a pseudo Hadoop development environment and a multi-node enterprise Hadoop cluster. You will see how the parallel programming paradigm, such as MapReduce, can solve many complex data processing problems. The book also covers the important aspects of the big data software development lifecycle, including quality assurance and control, performance, administration, and monitoring. You will then learn about the Hadoop ecosystem, and tools such as Kafka, Sqoop, Flume, Pig, Hive, and HBase. Finally, you will look at advanced topics, including real time streaming using Apache Storm, and data analytics using Apache Spark. By the end of the book, you will be well versed with different configurations of the Hadoop 3 cluster. What you will learnStore and analyze data at scale using HDFS, MapReduce and YARNInstall and configure Hadoop 3 in different modesUse Yarn effectively to run different applications on Hadoop based platformUnderstand and monitor how Hadoop cluster is managedConsume streaming data using Storm, and then analyze it using SparkExplore Apache Hadoop ecosystem components, such as Flume, Sqoop, HBase, Hive, and KafkaWho this book is for Aspiring Big Data professionals who want to learn the essentials of Hadoop 3 will find this book to be useful. Existing Hadoop users who want to get up to speed with the new features introduced in Hadoop 3 will also benefit from this book. Having knowledge of Java programming will be an added advantage.

Learn advanced analytical techniques and leverage existing tool kits to make your analytic applications more powerful, precise, and efficient. This book provides the right combination of architecture, design, and implementation information to create analytical systems that go beyond the basics of classification, clustering, and recommendation. Pro Hadoop Data Analytics emphasizes best practices to ensure coherent, efficient development. A complete example system will be developed using standard third-party components that consist of the tool kits, libraries, visualization and reporting code, as well as support glue to provide a working and extensible end-to-end system. The book also highlights the importance of end-to-end, flexible, configurable, high-performance data pipeline systems with analytical components as well as appropriate visualization results. You'll discover the importance of mix-and-match or hybrid systems, using different analytical components in one application. This hybrid approach will be prominent in the examples. What You'll Learn Build big data analytic systems with the Hadoop ecosystem Use libraries, tool kits, and algorithms to make development easier and more effective Apply metrics to measure performance and efficiency of components and systems Connect to standard relational databases, noSQL data sources, and more Follow case studies with example components to create your own systems Who This Book Is For Software engineers, architects, and data scientists with an interest in the design and implementation of big data analytical systems using Hadoop, the Hadoop ecosystem, and other associated technologies.

With the intense interest in big data and the growing complexity of Apache Solr applications, application developers, business professionals, and end-users alike are clamoring for a more in-depth look at Apache Lucene and Solr. This comprehensive one-stop guide helps you gain a thorough understanding of Lucene’s underlying architecture so you can design, implement, and tune successful Solr applications. High-speed inverted indexes are inherently difficult to develop. That’s why more and more enterprises are implementing the Solr search server and Lucene Core search technology for complex text retrieval, as a NoSQL system for big data, or as a replacement for relational database systems that require horizontal scalability. With this guide’s complete coverage of both Lucene and Solr, you’ll get a unified view of their value and applicability to your big data projects. Learn how Lucene works from the inside out Get examples for using both Lucene and Solr APIs Configure Solr for optimal production use Learn how to use Solr with Hadoop
