Apache Spark with Scala / Python and Apache Storm Certification Training
With businesses generating big data at a very high pace, leveraging meaningful business insights by analysing the data is very crucial. There are wide varieties of big data processing alternatives like Hadoop, Spark, Storm, Scala, Python and so on. This technology is, “lightning fast cluster computing solution” for big data processing as it brings the evolutionary change in big data processing by providing streaming capabilities by fast data analysis. Training offers the required expertise to carry out large-scale data processing using resilient distributed dataset or APIs. Also, trainees will gain experience in stream processing big data technology of Apache Storm and master the essential skills on different APIs such as Spark Streaming, GraphX Programming, Spark SQL, Machine Learning Programming, and Shell Scripting.Description
Apache Spark, a data processing engine is a well-known open-source cluster computing framework for fast and flexible large-scale data analysis. Scala, a scalable and multi-paradigm programming language which supports functional object-oriented programming and a very strong static type system implemented for developing applications like web services. Apache Storm is a well-developed, powerful, distributed, real-time computation system for enterprise-grade big data analysis. Python, a flexible and powerful language with simple syntax, readability and has powerful libraries for data analysis and manipulation.
