Dealing with data quality in a Big Data environment
Big Data transformation and integration
Loading Big Data – what’s different about loading HDFS, Hive & NoSQL Vs analytical relational databases
Tools for ELT processing on Hadoop – The Enterprise Data Refinery
ETL tools Vs Pig Vs self- service DI/DQ
Governing data in a Data Science environment
Joined up analytical processing from ETL to analytical workflows
Mapping discovered data of value into your DW and business vocabulary
Module 5: Tools and Techniques for Analyzing Big Data
This session looks at tools and techniques available to data scientists, business analysts and traditional DW/BI professionals to analyze Big Data. It looks how different types of developers and users can exploit Big Data platforms such as Hadoop and NoSQL databases using programming techniques, text analytics, search, self-service BI tools as well as how vendors are making it easier to gain access both the NoSQL/Hadoop world and the Analytical RDBMS world by using data virtualization
