This OnDemand offering provides you with a 180-day subscription that begins on the date of purchase.
Prerequisites
This course is appropriate for developers and administrators who intend to use HBase. Prior experience with databases and data modeling is helpful, but not required. Knowledge of Java is assumed. Prior knowledge of Hadoop is not required, but Cloudera Developer Training for Apache Hadoop provides an excellent foundation for this course.
Cloudera's training for Apache HBase is designed for developers and administrators already familiar with Apache Hadoop. Participants should be familiar with Hadoop's architecture and APIs and have experience writing basic applications. Cloudera's Hadoop Developer course provides all the necessary background required.
- The use cases and usage occasions for HBase, Hadoop, and RDBMS
- Using the HBase shell to directly manipulate HBase tables
- Designing optimal HBase schemas for efficient data storage and recovery
- How to connect to HBase using the Java API to insert and retrieve data in real time
- Best practices for identifying and resolving performance bottlenecks
Subscription Details
This OnDemand offering provides you with a 180-day subscription that begins on the date of purchase. While the subscription is active, you will have unlimited access to the course training materials which includes recorded course lectures and demonstrations, assessment components, and hands-on exercise instructions.
