Hadoop Hands-on

From Gridkaschool

Tuesday, 28.8.2012, 13:00 - 18:30

Objectives

The focus of this session is on the hadoop ecosystem and the interplay of many specialized tools for data analysis.

We look into the Java API as well, but not in so much detail as in a pure developer class. We will try to show a big picture

of hadoop in the context of scientific computing. You will learn, what hadoop can be used for, and what it is not intended to be

applied to. Therefore we will discuss the underlying principles as well as the programming model and installation / configuration

procedures. You will test some of the commands on a real cluster and some life demos give you an idea of lots of features provided

by the web based user interface.

Prerequisites

  • Basic understanding of Unix/Linux OS management is needed to do the exercises.
  • No prior knowledge of Hadoop is required, as we go through the basic concepts.
  • For this workshop a personal notebook is recommendet.
  • If you use Windows: please install "PuTTY" and the VMWare-Player.
