  • Team-B Final Project: Data Lifecycle and Hadoop Ecosystem Implementation for [Use Case] “Creating a Task Board and Presentation for Addressing Organizational Needs”

    Team – B: [Every document and screenshot should be named as ‘Team-B’]
    Overview:
    This week you will work with your group on your final project.
    Objectives
    Apply concepts learned about Hadoop Ecosystem
    Apply concepts learned in data preparation to preprocess data
    Construct an external table using basic SQL commands in BigQuery
    Develop queries in BigQuery.
    Construct a well-defined schema using basic HQL commands in Hive
    Develop queries in Hive
    Develop queries in Spark
    Instructions
    Each group will research their assigned use case. They will select a static dataset and streaming data source from the approved list provided or locate another and obtain the instructors’ approval.
    Each group will create an executive summary. This summary should be between 400 and 550 words, not including the title page, references, or other supporting documents. It should read like a summary of your presentation, giving the use case project, stepping through the data lifecycle, identifying tools/applications used during certain phases of the data lifecycle, and concluding with the next steps for the data science or analyst teams. The executive summary is in Times New Roman, 12-point, with one-inch margins.
    Each group will create a document with screenshots that includes the project and storage they created for their use case in GCP, setting up their Hadoop ecosystem, performing data processing with their static and streaming data, and performing queries in BigQuery, Hive, and Spark to ensure the quality of their data for the data science or analysts teams. Through each step, the team will take screenshots of their work and present them in a word document with brief explanations of the screenshots. The desciption should include the application used, the task performed, and why it was performed. Do not include how-to instructions.
    Each group will create a presentation that tells a story using the data lifecycle as a guide, and they will present their work during the designated time. You may be creative with the presentation with PowerPoint. The presentation is a professional business presentation. Each member of the group should speak. After the presentation, the group will entertain questions from the audience. The presentation should be at least 10-15 minutes in length.
