The Ultimate Hands On Hadoop Tame your Big Data (Udemy.com)

This was a very thorough course and explained the concepts well. The only reason I rate it 4 stars instead of 5 is because many of the videos are outdated at this point.
It's a little frustrating that at the beginning of the course, it is suggested that HDP 2.6.5 is used, but all of the lectures use 2.5. This is an issue because so many of the technologies have changed just enough to where the general concept of what is being explained is correct, but I still have to dig through the Q&As or do google searches to make minor changes to commands or lines of code. Now an activity that should have taken 20 min takes 45 min.
Also, in the Oozie courses, if you are using HDP 2.6.5, there is a chance that the workflow will get stuck in a permanent running state. The job cannot be killed and resetting the machine does not work either. I suggest you just watch that lecture and not participate or else you may need to wipe your VM.
This is still a good course to learn Hadoop, but it definitely needs to be updated in many lectures with up to date commands.

This course covers many technologies regarding big data, which is very helpful to broaden our knowledge base. However, some of the technologies are not up-to-date such as Flink, which makes it very difficult to follow. Hope the course could be updated as possible as it can be. Thanks.

Worth taking this amazing course. I was skeptical about this course since it had mentioned that it requires more than 8 GB RAM, but I was able to reduce the base memory and complete the whole course with Hortonworks. Learnt more than 20 technologies with hands on experience. Thank you Udemy and Frank.

All the sessions were informative & very engaging. I took very long time to complete the sessions with hands on .. but sure every second and the money is worth it.. Thanks Frank & Friends !!!

I'm training for a data science role, and i believe i needed to have some understanding of big data. This course. I believe gave me that and much much more. Learnt a lot of different technologies inside and out of the eco hadoop system. Was a worthwhile journey.

Concepts are toooooooo fast, you need to control your english. Overall its good overview on the Hadoop ecosystem, give basic understanding of all the Tech stalk used in the current market.

I wanted to learn more about distributed computing technology and I've chosen this course based on the ratings and because I've already got a few courses from Frank and I liked them quite a lot. Although Hadoop is just ONE way to go, this course provides a very comprehensive vision of all the underlying technologies, many of which can be used without Hadoop (i.e. Kafka, Cassandra, etc.). Frank keeps an open mind about technology and thanks to this it's easy to translate what you learn here to other systems, for example to AWS. This course is perfect to get an update on the progress of distributed computing in the last 10/15 years and for this very reason is not exactly an 'easy' one. Highly recommended!

The context is good. Annoying that the presented scripts are not available on the course contents. A different hadoop implementation should have been proposed that could run on a machines with less than 16 GB ram.

Great Course . Absolutely love your teaching method.Loved every piece of the information. Anytime will buy any relevant course if you are the teacher..!And one compliment here , you really have a very soothing voice which makes audios enjoyable and encouraging.

I am aiming for a career in Data Analysis/Science and I took this course mainly to broaden my knowledge in Hadoop, Big Data and all the other buzzwords :) I learned A LOT, that's for sure. Even though I got lost sometimes (particularly during the Streaming topic), I could follow most of the lectures and finish up most of the scripts/exercises on my little sandbox. Considering that I neither have a professional IT background nor do I intend to become full Data Engineer, I wasn't freaking out if I didn't understand every little detail. For some modules I could grasp the general idea of it and that's fine considering my background and intentions. A tiny criticism: some scripts/modules do not work straight away and require some look ups in the Q&A section and a lot of try-and-error takes. However, considering the number of used technologies (which are somehow all inter-connected but updated individually) this seems an issue that cannot be prevented. Nonetheless, awesome course, I learned a lot, totally recommend it!

A great course that covers a wide range of technologies. It has helped me understand where and how they fit together, with some examples of how to use them.
A good starting point before a deeper dive into specific technologies of interest. I have 1 yr experience in Big Data Engineer role.

Very good and informative. However, tries to cover too many technologies as hadoop ecosystem is quite vast.
If you want that, this course is perfect for you.
