About Big Data, Hadoop and Spark

GoConqr Original

What the resources cover

The page opens with the basics of Big Data. The mind maps Conceptual Map: Big data and BIG DATA trace origins, the 3 Vs, veracity, and technologies such as massively parallel processing, stream processing and column-oriented databases. Others link Big Data analytics to cloud computing, covering IoT sensors, social media and mobile devices as data sources.

Hadoop and its tools

The Hadoop mind map breaks the framework into HDFS, MapReduce and YARN, then shows supporting tools such as Pig and Hive. It notes that Pig lets you write complex MapReduce transformations in a simple scripting language. You will also find flowcharts on Hadoop and YARN, a flashcard deck on Pig and Hive, and notes on Sqoop.

Spark and data processing

For Spark, look at the mind map on RDD-based programming, the deck Apache Spark Concepts, and the slides comparing the DataSet API and the DataFrame API. Short notes on Filter and Map and on Joins help with the practical side. A flowchart on Kafka and another on data processing engines widen the picture.

A suggested order

  1. Start with a general Big Data mind map to get the vocabulary.
  2. Take the quiz on Big Data analytics and NoSQL, which asks true or false questions on definitions and scaling out.
  3. Move to the Hadoop maps and flowcharts.
  4. Finish with the Spark decks and slides, then retake a quiz.

Where it fits

This unit sits in the Data Management and Engineering strand of Databases and data science. Use maps to see how ideas connect, then quizzes to check what stuck. Open a map, try a quiz, and build your own flashcards for the terms you missed.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Begin with one of the general Big Data mind maps, such as Conceptual Map: Big data, to learn the 3 Vs and the main technologies. Then try the quiz on Big Data analytics and NoSQL to see which definitions you still need to review.

What do the Hadoop resources cover?

The Hadoop mind map covers HDFS, MapReduce and YARN, plus supporting tools like Pig and Hive. There are also several Hadoop flowcharts, a Hadoop Yarn for Big Data flowchart, an introductory flashcard deck and notes on Sqoop, so you can revisit the same ideas in different formats.

Is there anything on Spark?

Yes. You will find a mind map on RDD-based programming, a flashcard deck called Apache Spark Concepts, notes on Filter and Map and on Joins, and slides comparing the DataSet API and the DataFrame API. Together they give you concepts and short worked ideas.

Who are these resources for?

Most are at university level, so they suit university students revising concepts or checking their understanding. Teachers can also use the ready-made quizzes, maps and flashcards. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr, so compare them with your own course material.

Do I have to pay or sign up to use them?

Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. If you want to save quiz scores or make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes, you can create a free account.

What if a topic I need is missing?

Check the notes, flowcharts and flashcard decks, as a topic may sit in a different format from the one you expected. If it is still missing, you can build your own mind map or quiz on it and use it for revision.
