Here are the objectives for this course.

Provide Structure to the Data

Use Data Definition Language (DDL) statements to create or alter structures in the metastore for use by Hive and Impala.

• Create tables using a variety of data types, delimiters, and file formats

• Create new tables using existing tables to define the schema

• Improve query performance by creating partitioned tables in the metastore

• Alter tables to modify the existing schema

• Create views in order to simplify queries

Data Analysis

Use Query Language (QL) statements in Hive and Impala to analyze data on the cluster.

• Prepare reports using SELECT commands including unions and subqueries

• Calculate aggregate statistics, such as sums and averages, during a query

• Create queries against multiple data sources by using join commands

• Transform the output format of queries by using built-in functions

• Perform queries across a group of rows using windowing functions

Exercises will be provided to have enough practice to get better at Sqoop as well as writing queries using Hive and Impala.

All the demos are given on our state-of-the-art Big Data cluster. If you do not have multi-node cluster, you can sign up for our labs and practice on our multi-node cluster. You will be able to practice Sqoop and Hive on the cluster.
