What You'll Learn
Cognixia’s Big Data Architect Program will enable candidates to:
- Get exposure to real-life projects that will help them create high-quality Java programs by developing and implementing the Java Framework.
- Conduct full-fledged Hadoop development and implementation with excellence.
- Load information from disparate data sets and translate complex, functional and required technicalities into detailed design.
- Implement Hive & Pig, HBase, MapReduce Integration, and Advanced Indexing.
- Learn essential NoSQL concepts and get acquainted with the query language, indexes, and MongoDB’s scalability and high-quality features.
- Impart in-depth knowledge of Big Data processing using Hadoop and Spark environment with Spark and Scala module.
- Java EssentialsUnder this module, candidates will learn about OOPS concepts, and core and advanced Java, Servlets, and JSP technology.
- Big Data Hadoop Developer ProgramThis program is designed to educate candidates about Linux and Big Data Virtual Machines (VM). Candidates would be taught about the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS), its interface, features, and its application in fault tolerance. An overview of MapReduce (theoretical and practical), Hadoop Streaming (developing and debugging non-Java MR programs – Ruby and Python), Bulk Synchronous Parallel (BSP) – an alternative to MapReduce – and higher-level abstractions for MapReduce (Pig and Hive) are other interesting topics students would be learning under this module. In the case studies, candidates will be using Pig, HBase, Hive, and MapReduce to perform Big Data analytics learned in the course. The first case study on Twitter Analysis and the other one on Click-Stream Analysis would give a complete understanding of some interesting data analysis facts and concepts.
- MongoDBIn this module, candidates will get an understanding of MongoDB, its installation, advantages, syntaxes, and queries. They will gain an understanding of how NoSQL suits Big Data needs. Apart from this, the course will also cover CRUD concepts, MongoDB security, and MongoDB administration activities. A hands-on Mongo DB project will show how to work with the MongoDB Java Driver and how to use MongoDB as a Java Developer.
- Scala ProgrammingLike Java, Scala is an object-oriented programming language, and this module has been designed to impart an in-depth knowledge of programming in Scala. The module is based on the 60:40 ratio – 60% practical sessions and 40% theoretical classes. Candidates will learn about functional programming principles, exception handling, and XML manipulating in Scala.
- Apache Spark and Scala Development ProgramThe objective of this program is to deliver a clear understanding of Apache Spark & Scala concepts. It will provide an overview of the Hadoop ecosystem, Hive, GraphX, and Spark Machine Learning libraries (Spark MLlib). Candidates will also learn Spark RDD, and how to write and deploy Spark applications.Each of the modules would be followed by the practical assignments that are to be completed before the commencement of next class, to ensure candidates properly learn and clear all their doubts before moving ahead.Who can take this training?This course is designed for tech-savvy individuals who seek in-depth knowledge in the field of Big Data. Moreover, it offers promising benefits to fresher, experienced developers and architects, corporate IT professionals, engineers, and other professionals.
