Was a very hands-on experience with the Hadoop ecosystem streaming and analysis of live tweets from twitter gave a general outlook on how to perform simple operations with the HDFS

Overall relevant and clear presentations. Course material quite general, but I guess this is expected from an introductory-level course.Peer-reviewed assignment's instructions can be clearer.
