Chapter 1, Introduction to Hadoop, introduces you to the world of Hadoop and its core components, namely, HDFS and MapReduce.
Chapter 2, Overview of Big Data Analytics, introduces the process of examining large datasets to uncover patterns in data, generating reports, and gathering valuable insights.
Chapter 3, Big Data Processing with MapReduce, introduces the concept of MapReduce, which is the fundamental concept behind most of the big data computing/processing systems.
Chapter 4, Scientific Computing and Big Data Analysis with Python and Hadoop, provides an introduction to Python and an analysis of big data using Hadoop with the aid of Python packages.
Chapter 5, Statistical Big Data Computing with R and Hadoop, provides an introduction to R and demonstrates how to use R to perform statistical computing on big data using Hadoop.
Chapter 6, Batch Analytics with Apache Spark, introduces you to Apache Spark and demonstrates how to use Spark for big data analytics based on a batch processing model.
Chapter 7, Real-Time Analytics with Apache Spark, introduces the stream processing model of Apache Spark and demonstrates how to build streaming-based, real-time analytical applications.
Chapter 8, Batch Analytics with Apache Flink, covers Apache Flink and how to use it for big data analytics based on a batch processing model.
Chapter 9, Stream Processing with Apache Flink, introduces you to DataStream APIs and stream processing using Flink. Flink will be used to receive and process real-time event streams and store the aggregates and results in a Hadoop cluster.
Chapter 10, Visualizing Big Data, introduces you to the world of data visualization using various tools and technologies such as Tableau.
