Taming Big Data with MapReduce and Hadoop - Hands On! (Udemy.com)

Great course as usual from Frank. He is really the genius in this field. His explanation of each topics along with proper examples makes the concept look more easy. Can't Thank enough. Keep doing this great job and makes course on Hive, Pig and other Big data Technologies as a whole complete course. Thanks Again!

The instructor was awesome! I would prefer to learn more about mapreduce and mrjob than passing very quickly through other technologies

The hands on approach makes it easy to understand the big data concepts. The programming exercise provides a good head start to someone who is looking to develop an in-depth development skills. Good course!

I thought the course was a very good introduction to Hadoop, MRJob, and AWS EMR. The numerous examples were well thought out and a useful learning tool. They were easy to complete and extend. My two suggestions: 1. Some of the videos are getting pretty dated, from 2015. Even if the information is still relevant, knowing the content was recorded 2-3 years ago is a bit disconcerting. 2. I thought the transition from the basic MR examples to the Super Hero example with BFS was a sudden jump in comprehension from the previous, simpler examples. I might suggest placing this a bit later in the course. I would certainly complete a course on Spark from the author.

This class would get five stars but it's a little out of date and the instructor is not keeping up with changes in the environment, nor providing much support in the Q&A. Still, if you are willing to do a little extra work figuring out how to get the examples working, this class is well worth the time, providing a rapid introduction to MapReduce.

The course is old and hasn't been duly updated. The quality of the video isn't great. And you really need to know Python quite well to get anything real (read the more complex examples, easy ones are too easy anyway) out of it. The way of teaching is not at all engaging. It got so many reviews because it is one of the early courses to be available on Udemy.

Course structure is very good starting from basic WordCount to BreadthFirst Search algorithms using Map reduce....It will be good to include short lecture on how to run MRJOB on our own hadoop cluster instead of EMR. Don't need to explain how to setup cluster, instead live example of running on existing cluster.

I really found this course useful and learnt a lot. Just a couple of thoughts: - It would be useful to include a slide or 2 explaining how the MRJob framework works. I had to look that up separately. - This tutorial did not cover anything about Partitioners and how they actually work. It seems like thats a concept thats' well abstracted by the MRjob framework but nevertheless something useful to know about.

Really helpful video for study..I learned lot of things. The instructor is awesome..His response to the question is very quickly..I appreciate to him.. I am looking for career in Data Mining and Big Data System and Data Analysis. And this tutorial and instructor are giving me such a good start. Thanks again..

This is a great course for someone who wants to explore the complicated world of Big Data and get some understanding on some of the key technologies in this area. Frank Kane does a good job of simplyfing very complex technology and it gives you the confidence to continue to explore and understand Big Data applications.
