Hadoop Blueprints

If you have a basic understanding of Hadoop and want to put your knowledge to use to build fantastic business solutions, then this book is for you.

You will learn to build six real-life, end-to-end applications using Hadoop in its ecosystem. Each chapter will cover the steps required to build an application end to end. We start off by discussing various industry use cases and the associated business cases. We also discuss common architectural patterns. Next, you’ll learn how to import and utilize structured and semi-structured data to build a 360-degree view of the customer. We’ll also build a classification model based upon historical data using a machine learning library. We then move on to use an analytics model to predict the likelihood of a certain event.

Through these real-world cases, you’ll take your Hadoop learning to the next level. You will be able to try out the solutions explained in the book and use the knowledge gained to extend them further in your own problem space.
