3 semester credits

The amount of data available to organizations to help them create a competitive advantage is growing exponentially. These data sets are so large and complex that traditional data modeling and data analysis processes are inadequate. In this course, students are guided through basic approaches to querying and exploring data using higher level tools built on top of a Hadoop Platform. Students will walk through query interfaces, environments, and the canonical situations for tools like HBASE, HIVE, Pig, as well as more open source tools like HUE.
