Detailed Exam Notes for Big Data and Hadoop

Unit I: Introduction to Big Data and Hadoop

1. What is Big Data?

- Big Data refers to datasets that are too large and complex to be processed by traditional

data-processing tools.

- Characteristics (3Vs): Volume (large size), Velocity (speed of data), Variety (different formats).

- Example: Data generated by social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter.

2. Hadoop Ecosystem:

- Framework for distributed storage and processing of Big Data.

- Core Components:

a. HDFS (Hadoop Distributed File System): Stores data in blocks across multiple nodes.

b. MapReduce: Processes data in parallel across the cluster.

c. Other Tools: Hive (SQL-like queries), Pig (data transformation), HBase (NoSQL database).

3. IBM Big Data Strategy and Infosphere BigInsights:

- IBM Infosphere provides tools for Big Data analysis, such as BigSheets for analyzing large

datasets.

Unit II: Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS)


1. Architecture of HDFS:

- HDFS is a distributed file system that splits large data files into blocks and distributes them

across nodes.

- Components:

a. NameNode: Master node managing metadata.

b. DataNodes: Worker nodes storing actual data.

2. Data Ingestion:

- Flume: Transfers log data to HDFS in real-time.

- Sqoop: Transfers structured data from RDBMS to HDFS.

3. Hadoop I/O:

- Compression: Reduces data size for faster processing.

- Serialization: Converts data into a storable format (e.g., Avro).
