This course offers a one-of-a-kind rich and interactive experience to learn the fundamentals and basics of Big Data. Throughout this course, you will have plenty of opportunities to get your hands dirty with functioning Hadoop clusters.

You will start off by learning about the rise of Big Data as well as the different types of data like structured, unstructured, and semi-structured data. You will then dive into the fundamentals of Big Data such as YARN (yet another resource manager), MapReduce, HDFS (Hadoop Distributed File System), and Spark.

By the end of this course, you will have the foundations in place to start working with Big Data, which is a massively growing field.

Introduction to Big Data and Hadoop

# Spark API

Spark offers APIs and data abstractions that significantly enhance the developer experience. The original Spark paper describes the low-level abstraction called RDD. Later, others like DataFrames and Datasets were added. Spark enables distributed data processing through functional transformations of data collections(RDDs). The Spark API significantly reduces the size of programs compared to other frameworks like  MapReduce. The three data abstractions available in Spark are:

+ Resilient Distributed Datasets

+ DataFrames

+ Datasets


This lesson introduces data abstractions available in Spark.
