Présentation de l'éditeur

With Microsoft HDInsight, business professionals and data analysts can rapidly leverage the power of Hadoop on a flexible, scalable cloud-based platform, using Microsoft's accessible business intelligence, visualization, and productivity tools. Now, in just 24 lessons of one hour or less, you can learn all the skills and techniques you'll need to provision, configure, monitor, troubleshoot, and use HDInsight, even if you're new to big data analytics. Each short, easy lesson builds on all that's come before: you'll learn all of HDInsight's essentials as you solve real data analytics problems. Sams Teach Yourself Big Data Analytics with Microsoft HDInsight in 24 Hours covers all this, and much more:

• Using Oozie for scheduling, co-ordination and managing data processing workflows in HDInsight cluster
• Using R programming language with HDInsight for performing statistical computing on Big Data sets
• Using Apache Spark's in-memory computation model to run big data analytics up to 100 times faster than Hadoop MapReduce
• Perform real-time Stream Analytics on high-velocity big data streams with Storm
• Integration of Enterprise Data Warehouse with Hadoop and Microsoft Analytics Platform System (APS), formally known as SQL Server Parallel Data Warehouse (PDW)

Step-by-step instructions walk you through common questions, issues, and tasks; Q-and-As, Quizzes, and Exercises build and test your knowledge; "Did You Know?" tips offer insider advice and shortcuts; and "Watch Out!" alerts help you avoid problems.
