Big Data

In this Specialization, you will develop a robust set of skills that will allow you to process, analyze, and extract meaningful information from large amounts of complex data. You will install and configure Hadoop with MapReduce, use Spark, Pig and Hive, perform predictive modelling with open source tools, and leverage graph analytics to model problems and perform scalable analytical tasks. In the final Capstone Project, developed in partnership with data software company Splunk, you’ll apply the skills you learned by building your own tools and models to analyze big data in the context of retail, sports, current events, or another area of your choice.
