Duration: 2h 15m

Course Description

This course is a general overview of the Apache Pig Framework. It will provide an introduction to the structure and methodologies of Apache Pig and an overview of Pig Latin, the Language of Apache Pig. No prior knowledge of Pig or Pig Latin is assumed, but it may be helpful to be familiar with one other programming language, such as python. This course will include interactive tutorials for processing and aggregating data with Apache Pig, it will cover many of the functionality that is built into the language as well as how to incorporate user defined functions into pig scripts to further increase their functionality. In the end you should be able to read and understand pig code and write your own scripts that you can implement in the interactive grunt shell or directly from the command line.

What am I going to get from this course?

  • Process and aggregate data with Apache Pig

Prerequisites and Target Audience

What will students need to know or do before starting this course?

  • Some familiarity with hadoop and map reduce is helpful, but not necessary.

Who should take this course? Who should not?

  • Anyone who will be working with large data sets, data engineers, data scientists and developers

What a kick-ass intro to Apache Pig and its language Pig Latin! If you are working with large data sets, then this course will be very useful. Lots of quizzes and programming tasks make this course very approachable. I was able to learn a lot in a short time. If you are looking to get started with Pig, take this course. Great course overall. Good number of examples to help you master the subject matter. Four and a half-stars!

As a big data scientist, I find this is an excellent course to learn from. Especially unlimited access to online self-paced videos. Equally, it is a collaborative learning experience with coding exercises and may quizzes and programming exercises. It helped me to understand writing and coding pig scripts and increase their functionality. As a big data scientist, this course helped me as my knowledge was a decade old, and helped me understand current developments. It helped me work very well with large data sets.

Awesome course. Easy to figure out. Thank you for making this course! The subject was well organized, the demonstrations were great and there was a good balance between theory and real problems that you had to deal with yourself.

Indeed as vouched for by the teacher, I was capable of understanding and interpreting pig code and formulating my personal scripts. I picked up the tutorials very well working with user defined functions into pig scripts. It’s valuable knowledge.

Tutorials were designed well. As a data research worker, this course of study helped as my knowledge was old, and I learned contemporary issues. Correspondingly, it is collaborative training with coding practices and many questions and programming activities. It pushed me to learn to transcribe and code pig scripts and develop their functionality.
