Syllabus
WEEK 1
Intro to Hadoop
Apache Hadoop is a collection of open-source software utilities that facilitate using a network of many computers to solve problems involving massive amounts of data and computation. It provides a software framework for distributed storage and processing of big data using the MapReduce programming model. This module will give you an introduction to Hadoop's features.
WEEK 2
Hadoop on Alibaba Cloud
This module will dive deeper into the functions of Hadoop and particularly their applications through the Alibaba Cloud Platform. Courses will touch upon the uses of E-MapReduce, Hive, and Spark.
WEEK 3
Big Data Product Overview
Get an overview of all of Alibaba Clouds Big Data products, their different architectures, and use scenarios.
WEEK 4
MaxCompute Basic
MaxCompute (previously known as ODPS) is a general purpose, fully managed, multi-tenancy data processing platform for large-scale data warehousing. MaxCompute supports various data importing solutions and distributed computing models, enabling users to effectively query massive datasets, reduce production costs, and ensure data security. Learn the basics of this products use in this module.
WEEK 5
