Apache Spark Fundamentals Training Course

This course is intended for developers and data scientists who want to understand and implement artificial intelligence in their applications. Special focus is placed on data analytics, distributed AI, and natural language processing.

This instructor-led, live training in Guatemala (online or onsite) is aimed at intermediate-level data scientists and engineers who wish to use Google Colab and Apache Spark for big data processing and analytics.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Set up a big data environment using Google Colab and Spark.
• Process and analyze large datasets efficiently with Apache Spark.
• Visualize big data in a collaborative environment.
• Integrate Apache Spark with cloud-based tools.

Big data analytics involves the process of examining large amounts of varied data sets in order to uncover correlations, hidden patterns, and other useful insights.

The health industry has massive amounts of complex heterogeneous medical and clinical data. Applying big data analytics on health data presents huge potential in deriving insights for improving delivery of healthcare. However, the enormity of these datasets poses great challenges in analyses and practical applications to a clinical environment.

In this instructor-led, live training (remote), participants will learn how to perform big data analytics in health as they step through a series of hands-on live-lab exercises.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Install and configure big data analytics tools such as Hadoop MapReduce and Spark
• Understand the characteristics of medical data
• Apply big data techniques to deal with medical data
• Study big data systems and algorithms in the context of health applications

Audience

• Developers
• Data Scientists

Format of the Course

• Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and heavy hands-on practice.

In this instructor-led, live training in Guatemala, participants will learn about the technology offerings and implementation approaches for processing graph data. The aim is to identify real-world objects, their characteristics and relationships, then model these relationships and process them as data using a Graph Computing (also known as Graph Analytics) approach. We start with a broad overview and narrow in on specific tools as we step through a series of case studies, hands-on exercises and live deployments.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand how graph data is persisted and traversed.
• Select the best framework for a given task (from graph databases to batch processing frameworks.)
• Implement Hadoop, Spark, GraphX and Pregel to carry out graph computing across many machines in parallel.
• View real-world big data problems in terms of graphs, processes and traversals.

This instructor-led, live training in Guatemala (online or onsite) is aimed at system administrators who wish to learn how to set up, deploy and manage Hadoop clusters within their organization.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Install and configure Apache Hadoop.
• Understand the four major components in the Hadoop ecoystem: HDFS, MapReduce, YARN, and Hadoop Common.
• Use Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) to scale a cluster to hundreds or thousands of nodes.  
• Set up HDFS to operate as storage engine for on-premise Spark deployments.
• Set up Spark to access alternative storage solutions such as Amazon S3 and NoSQL database systems such as Redis, Elasticsearch, Couchbase, Aerospike, etc.
• Carry out administrative tasks such as provisioning, management, monitoring and securing an Apache Hadoop cluster.

This instructor-led, live training in Guatemala (online or onsite) introduces Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP) and walks participants through the deployment of Spark + Hadoop solution.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Use Hortonworks to reliably run Hadoop at a large scale.
• Unify Hadoop's security, governance, and operations capabilities with Spark's agile analytic workflows.
• Use Hortonworks to investigate, validate, certify and support each of the components in a Spark project.
• Process different types of data, including structured, unstructured, in-motion, and at-rest.

In this instructor-led, live training in Guatemala (onsite or remote), participants will learn how to set up and integrate different Stream Processing frameworks with existing big data storage systems and related software applications and microservices.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Install and configure different Stream Processing frameworks, such as Spark Streaming and Kafka Streaming.
• Understand and select the most appropriate framework for the job.
• Process of data continuously, concurrently, and in a record-by-record fashion.
• Integrate Stream Processing solutions with existing databases, data warehouses, data lakes, etc.
• Integrate the most appropriate stream processing library with enterprise applications and microservices.

In this instructor-led, live training in Guatemala, participants will learn how to use Python and Spark together to analyze big data as they work on hands-on exercises.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Learn how to use Spark with Python to analyze Big Data.
• Work on exercises that mimic real world cases.
• Use different tools and techniques for big data analysis using PySpark.

MLlib is Spark’s machine learning (ML) library. Its goal is to make practical machine learning scalable and easy. It consists of common learning algorithms and utilities, including classification, regression, clustering, collaborative filtering, dimensionality reduction, as well as lower-level optimization primitives and higher-level pipeline APIs.

It divides into two packages:

• spark.mllib contains the original API built on top of RDDs.

• spark.ml provides higher-level API built on top of DataFrames for constructing ML pipelines.

Audience

This course is directed at engineers and developers seeking to utilize a built in Machine Library for Apache Spark
