TOP REVIEWS FROM HADOOP PLATFORM AND APPLICATION FRAMEWORK
by SWJan 18, 2017
This is a great introductory course for entry level Hadoop learner. I hope more content can be added into this course. This course overlaps with other big data courses offered by USDC.

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.
by BMMar 1, 2016
Very good overview, but not extremely in-depth. It's a great course to get an understanding of the concepts and you can investigate deeper later into the topics that interest you.
by SJAug 4, 2017
Course is very much helpful to enhance knowledge as it is designed based on concepts and hands on exercise. So one just can not complete without proper understanding.
