Level:  Technical (may include code)


What are the essential components of a data platform? This tutorial will explain how the various parts of the Hadoop, Spark and big data ecosystem fit together in production to create a data platform supporting batch, interactive, and real-time analytical workloads.

By tracing the flow of data from source to output, we'll explore the options and considerations for components, including:

Acquisition: from internal and external data sources

Ingestion: offline and real-time processing

Storage

Analytics: batch and interactive

Providing data services: exposing data to applications

We'll also give advice on:

Tool selection

The function of the major Hadoop components and other big data technologies such as Spark and Kafka

Integration with legacy systems
