• Understanding hardware-software to plan your hadoop cluster.
• Understanding workloads and planning cluster to avoid failures and perform optimum.

What is MapR and why MapR :

• Overview of MapR and its architecture.
• Understanding & working of MapR Control System, MapR Volumes , snapshots & Mirrors.
• Planning a cluster in context of MapR.
• Comparison of MapR with other distributions and Apache Hadoop.
• MapR installation and cluster deployment.

Cluster Setup & Administration:

• Managing services, nodes ,snapshots, mirror volumes and remote clusters.
• Understanding and managing Nodes.
• Understanding of Hadoop components, Installing Hadoop components alongside MapR Services.
• Accessing Data on cluster including via NFS Managing services & nodes.
• Managing data by using volumes, managing users and groups, managing & assigning roles to nodes, commissioning decommissioning of nodes, cluster administration and performance monitoring, configuring/ analyzing and monitoring metrics to monitor performance, configuring and administering MapR security.
• Understanding and working with M7- Native storage for MapR tables.
• Cluster configuration and tuning for optimum performance.

Cluster upgrade and integration with other setups:

• Upgrading software version of MapR and types of upgrade.
• Configuring Mapr cluster to access HDFS cluster.
• Setting up MapR cluster on Amazon Elastic Mapreduce.

All the above topics include Demonstrations and practice sessions for learners to have hands on experience of the technology.
