By the end of this course, learners will be able to design Hive databases, manage complex tables, process XML data with Pig, execute MapReduce jobs, and analyze large-scale social media datasets to extract meaningful insights. The course begins with foundational concepts of Hive, including databases, partitions, and bucketing, then advances into table optimization and constraints for schema design. Learners will gain practical experience in ingesting data with Sqoop, processing it using MapReduce, and applying location- and author-based analytics to real-world datasets. Finally, the course explores Pig scripting for XML processing and Hive complex data types for advanced bookmarking dataset analysis.
