• MapReduce and the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) and how to write
ranks, offering intimate insight and
MapReduce code
experience with the Apache
• Best practices and considerations for Hadoop development, debugging Hadoop ecosystem.”
techniques and implementation of workflows and common algorithms
Justin Hancock,
• How to leverage Hive, Pig, Sqoop, Flume, Oozie and other projects from the Director
Apache Hadoop ecosystem

• Optimal hardware configurations and network considerations for building out,

maintaining and monitoring your Hadoop cluster

• Advanced Hadoop API topics required for real-world data analysis

Upon completion of the course, attendees are able to attempt the Cloudera
Certified Developer for Apache Hadoop (CCDH) exam. Certification is a great
differentiator; it helps establish individuals as leaders in their field, providing
customers with tangible evidence of their skills.

Audience
This course is intended for experienced developers who wish to write, maintain,
and/or optimize Apache Hadoop jobs. A background in Java is preferred, but
experience with other programming language such as PHP, Python or C# is
sufficient.

Developer Training for Apache Hadoop

Cloudera Certified Developer for Apache Hadoop (CCDH)

Establish yourself as a trusted and valuable resource by completing the online certification exam for Apache Hadoop developers.
The exam is demanding and is designed to test your fluency with concepts and terminology in the following areas:

Computing Environment The current mix of computing resources and demands that motivates use of a technology like Apache
Hadoop
Hadoop Distributed File System How files are stored and managed in HDFS; the infrastructure that supports HDFS

MapReduce The phases of execution and framework for running a MapReduce job. Expected properties of job runs
based on number of mappers, number of reducers and distribution of data
Hadoop API The Java classes that make up the API for developers who wish to write Apache Hadoop MapReduce
jobs
Hadoop Platform The basic purpose, design and operation of tools that augment the Apache Hadoop core to make a
comprehensive platform, including Hadoop Streaming, fuse-dfs, Apache Hive, Apache Pig, Apache
Flume, Apache Sqoop, Apache HBase, Apache Oozie and HUE
