Summary
In this chapter, we covered some topics that are useful in building Hadoop-based solutions but not directly related to the main theme of this book. We explained that building a Hadoop-based solution involves a team work, where data engineering and data science skills are represented adequately. We covered how cloud-based Hadoop reduces the upfront investment and time-to-market for Hadoop-based solutions. Hadoop as a cloud-based service is available from Amazon and Microsoft. NoSQL databases play an important role in building web and mobile applications. Often, a Hadoop-based data pipeline will have to be integrated with NoSQL databases.
