Reviews
Very good overview, but not extremely in-depth. It's a great course to get an understanding of the concepts and you can investigate deeper later into the topics that interest you.
I don't think the answers of quiz are accurate. Some answers may be true in some cases, but not in others. Difficult to choose, even review the videos and do some google.
This course gives a nice introduction to Hadoop basics. Unfortunatly, i faced many issues to work with cloudera VM and some commands in tutorials are obsolete. Thank you very much for your efforts.
Easy into into big data architecture with minimal previous development requirements. Relevant to anyone who wants to grasp basic concepts of how data flows/processed/analyzed in hadoop.
