Hadoop Use Cases

Hello,
I have downloaded the Cloudera VM for self-learning. However I am not able to think about the possible use cases that I can try on local machine. If someone with that kind of experience in this forum can give some guidance in this area, it will be really helpful. I would also like to know if there is any repository from where I can get the test data to check my programs on such use cases.

Thanks in advance,
Amit

Hi Amit,

I would strongly suggest and recommend you take a look at the MapR M5 Test Drive VM.
It already has some samples for HBase, Hive and Pig.
You can get it here.

Hello Carlos,
Thank you for your reply.
Actually I am using Cascading and CDH in one of our projects and hence wanted to work out something on that platform.
I did check the link that you provided which tells me about Hive etc but not Cascading. Being naive I am not sure if Cascading does work with MapR as well.

Amit

Hi Amit,

All the Open Source Apache Projects of the Hadoop ecosystem including Cascading work transparently and without any issues on top of MapR.
All the Hadoop APIs and and Apache Projects part of the Hadoop ecosystem are 100% API compatible with MapR.

MapR just makes Hadoop more robust and enterprise-grade and easier to use.

See here for more information.

Best Regards,

Carlos.

Thanks for bringing this to sight.
I will certainly check this out as well.

Amit
