Hortonworks is excited to announce that our first hands-on, performance based certification exam is now available! The HDP Certified Developer (HDPCD) exam is designed for Hadoop developers working with frameworks like Pig, Hive, Sqoop and Flume. This new approach to Hadoop certification is designed to allow individuals an opportunity to prove their Hadoop skills in a way that is recognized in the industry as meaningful and relevant to on-the-job performance.
Instead of multiple-choice questions, the exam consists of tasks executed on a live, three-node Hortonworks Data Platform cluster:

Exam Objectives

The exam has three main categories of tasks that involve:
  • Data ingestion
  • Data transformation
  • Data analysis

3X FASTER INTERACTIVE QUERY WITH APACHE HIVE LLAP

Thanks to Carter Shanklin & Nita Dembla from Hortonworks for valuable post. One of the most exciting new features of HDP 2.6 from Hortonworks was the general availability of Apache Hive with LLAP. If you missed DataWorks Summit you’ll want to look at some of the great LLAP experiences our users shared, including Geisinger who found that  Hive LLAP outperforms their traditional EDW  for most of their queries, and Comcast who found  Hive LLAP is faster than Presto for 75% of benchmark queries . These great results are thanks to performance and stability improvements Hortonworks made to Hive LLAP resulting in 3x faster interactive query in HDP 2.6. This blog dives into the reasons HDP 2.6 is so much faster. We’ll also take a look at the massive step forward Hive has made in SQL compliance with HDP 2.6, enabling Hive to run all 99 TPC-DS queries with only trivial modifications to the original source queries.

Introduction to HDFS Erasure Coding in Apache Hadoop

Thanks to blog contributors from Cloudera Erasure coding, a new feature in HDFS, can reduce storage overhead by approximately 50% compared to replication while maintaining the same durability guarantees. This post explains how it works. HDFS by default replicates each block three times. Replication provides a simple and robust form of redundancy to shield against most failure scenarios. It also eases scheduling compute tasks on locally stored data blocks by providing multiple replicas of each block to choose from. However, replication is expensive: the default 3x replication scheme incurs a 200% overhead in storage space and other resources (e.g., network bandwidth when writing the data). For datasets with relatively low I/O activity, the additional block replicas are rarely accessed during normal operations, but still consume the same amount of storage space. Therefore, a natural improvement is to use erasure coding (EC) in place of replication, which uses far less storage s...
