Data sets continue to grow, seemingly without bound. Hadoop is a framework for dealing with these growing “monsters,” which may include a mixture of complex and structured data. Created at Yahoo from work originally done by Google, Hadoop combines a fast filesystem with a surprisingly simple way to write massive parallel programs that run quickly. It is used in situations where researchers and information specialists would like to run analytics that are computationally extensive. Built on top of its core capabilities are the Pig and Hive database packages, tools which make it feasible to work with trillions of rows. This course will cover installation and use of Hadoop's filesystem, writing parallel programs (using the Map/Reduce paradigm), and the relational algebra and database capabilities of Pig and Hive. The session will include both lecture and in-class exercises.
