With the help of this book, you will see how Superset integrates with popular databases like Postgres, Google BigQuery, Snowflake, and MySQL. You will learn to create real time data visualizations and dashboards on modern web browsers for your organization using Superset. First, we look at the fundamentals of Superset, and then get it up and running. You'll go through the requisite installation, configuration, and deployment. Then, we will discuss different columnar data types, analytics, and the visualizations available. You'll also see the security tools available to the administrator to keep your data safe. You will learn how to visualize relationships as graphs instead of coordinates on plain orthogonal axes. This will help you when you upload your own entity relationship dataset and analyze the dataset in new, different ways. You will also see how to analyze geographical regions by working with location data. Finally, we cover a set of tutorials on dashboard designs frequently used by analysts, business intelligence professionals, and developers.

A fast paced guide that will help you learn about Apache Hadoop 3 and its ecosystem Key FeaturesSet up, configure and get started with Hadoop to get useful insights from large data setsWork with the different components of Hadoop such as MapReduce, HDFS and YARN Learn about the new features introduced in Hadoop 3Book Description Apache Hadoop is a widely used distributed data platform. It enables large datasets to be efficiently processed instead of using one large computer to store and process the data. This book will get you started with the Hadoop ecosystem, and introduce you to the main technical topics, including MapReduce, YARN, and HDFS. The book begins with an overview of big data and Apache Hadoop. Then, you will set up a pseudo Hadoop development environment and a multi-node enterprise Hadoop cluster. You will see how the parallel programming paradigm, such as MapReduce, can solve many complex data processing problems. The book also covers the important aspects of the big data software development lifecycle, including quality assurance and control, performance, administration, and monitoring. You will then learn about the Hadoop ecosystem, and tools such as Kafka, Sqoop, Flume, Pig, Hive, and HBase. Finally, you will look at advanced topics, including real time streaming using Apache Storm, and data analytics using Apache Spark. By the end of the book, you will be well versed with different configurations of the Hadoop 3 cluster. What you will learnStore and analyze data at scale using HDFS, MapReduce and YARNInstall and configure Hadoop 3 in different modesUse Yarn effectively to run different applications on Hadoop based platformUnderstand and monitor how Hadoop cluster is managedConsume streaming data using Storm, and then analyze it using SparkExplore Apache Hadoop ecosystem components, such as Flume, Sqoop, HBase, Hive, and KafkaWho this book is for Aspiring Big Data professionals who want to learn the essentials of Hadoop 3 will find this book to be useful.
