Hortonworks HDP Developer Java

About This Course

This advanced course provides Java programmers a deep-dive into Hadoop application development. Students will learn how to design and develop efficient and effective MapReduce applications for Hadoop using the Hortonworks Data Platform, including how to implement combiners, partitioners, secondary sorts, custom input and output formats, joining large datasets, unit testing, and developing UDFs for Pig and Hive. Labs are run on a 7-node cluster running in a virtual machine that students can keep for use after the training.

Course Audience

Experienced Java software engineers who need to develop Java MapReduce applications for Hadoop.

Course Prerequisites

Students must have experience developing Java applications and using a Java IDE. Labs are completed using the Eclipse IDE and Gradle. No prior Hadoop knowledge is required.
