Cloudera Training for Apache HBase

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. You will also receive 15 runtime hours of access to the online hands-on exercise environment accessible though web browser. You can start the exercise environment when you are ready to use it. You can stop or pause it when you are done for the time being, then return anytime to continue where you left off. The exercise environment remains accessible until you have used the runtime hours or the subscription period ends, whichever occurs first
