In this chapter, we understood how log analysis can help an e-commerce store to convert its visitors log information into increasing the sales volume and enhancing user experience, in turn increasing the profit from the business. We found out how MySQL 8 and Hadoop can be used to generate reports for user behavior. We went through how Sqoop can be very useful in exchanging data between MySQL 8 and Hadoop HDFS. We had a brief explanation about Hadoop, went through in detail about Apache Sqoop, and learnt how to use import and export operations of Sqoop.
In the next chapter, we will learn what is real time processing of data and how MySQL's applier can be used for real time processing of the data.
