Big Data course on Beocat

The Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center hosts 2-day remote Big Data workshops several times each year. The information provided here will allow individual users to go through the videos at their own pace and perform the exercises on our local Beocat supercomputer. Each exercise will have data and results tailored to each individual to allow instructors to measure the progress of students assigned to take this course interactively.

Use the Agenda website below to access the slides starting with the Welcome slides that don't have an associated video. The '>' sign at the start of lines below represents the command line prompt on Beocat, and '>>>' represents the prompt you'll get when you start pyspark or python.

Intro to Big Data

 [web link is bad]
 Watch the video 'Intro to Big Data - Big Data Video 1'
     (slides are A_Brief_History_of_Big_Data.pdf)

Hadoop

  Watch the video 'Hadoop - Big Data Video 2'   (slides are Hadoop2019.pdf)
  We do not have Hadoop on Beocat so the commands they cover will not work locally
