TOP REVIEWS FROM HADOOP PLATFORM AND APPLICATION FRAMEWORK

Very detailed , thorough introduction to a lot of the Hadoop ecosystem. Nice explanation and assignment to get a feel for Spark. At times a bit dry but altogether a well structured and taught course.

Good introductionary course to get familiar with Hadoop and Spark. Could dig a bit deeper. It's only 5 weeks long, which accounts for half a trimester. Two of those makes one full size class.

Great course with great explanations. I just want to suggest to use more visual examples during your explanations, I mean, it would be nice to see live examples of code and executions running.

I'm forced to give 5 stars. I don't want to have a certification on a poor quality course (another coursera mistake). This material needs tremendous amount of work to get finished and revised.
