Hi all, we were not able to get the tutorials running on AWS so for now we are continuing with the BigInsights VM Image (Option 4) which is working fine. We can revisit working with AWS at a later date if there is interest but it seems to be a known issue (from the forums) that it’s not working properly.
We can continue next week with either Introduction to Pig, Intro to MapReduce programming, or Using Hive for Data Warehousing. I think it might make sense to continue with MR programming after the Hadoop Fundamentals labs. Let me know what you think. How are the tutorials going so far?
Haroon and I are done with Introduction to pig after the hadoop fundamentals. I think we could go ahead with intro to jaql and then jump onto MR programming as it is currently listed on the syllabus.
Ok sounds good, I update the syllabus today
