Data Engineering - Tools & Intro
So I just realized that I am here after a month or so. I was busy at work and traveling.
I am starting a kind of new series, I say it Data Engineering Series in which I will be discussing different tools. Of course, I am not able to discuss the entire concept of Data Engineering neither I know it as I will be learning myself.
What is Data Engineering?
Data Engineering is all about developing, maintaining systems that are responsible for transferring data in large volumes and make it available for analysts and data scientists to use it for analyzing and data modeling. Data engineering is a superset of Data Science or the subset, not clear to me but the collaboration of data engineers and scientists fruits useful data-driven solutions.
Data Engineering tools
It consists of several tools. Some are dealing with data storage while others with analysis and ETL. Ofcourse, Apache Kafka is one of them. The others tools that I might be covering are Apache Airflow, an ETL tool and Hadoop Ecosystem components like HDFS, Hive, Yarn, Pig etc. There is no such specific roadmap so tools can be covered in any order. Since I mostly work in Python, Java so will be trying my best to find some way to interact with Python or Java but it is not necessary as most of Hadoop related systems are in either Java or Scala.
So, stay tuned and I will be back shortly with the new post.
Introduction: In this blog, I will discuss Big Data, its characteristics, different sources of Big Dataand some key components of Hadoop Framework. In the two part blog series, I will cover the basics of Hadoop Ecosystem. Let us start with Big Data and its importance in Hadoop Framework. Ethics, privacy, security measures are very important and need to be taken care while dealing with the challenges of Big Data. Big Data: When the Data itself becomes the part of the problem. Data is crucial for all organizations. It has to be stored for future use. We can refer the term Big Data as the data, which is beyond the storage capacity and the processing power of an organization. What are the sources of this huge data? There are different sources of data such as the social networks, CCTV cameras, sensors, online shopping portals, hospitality data, GPS, automobile industry etc., that generate data massively. Big Data can be characterized as: The Volume of the Data Velocit...
