Book Description
Microsoft Azure HDInsight is Microsoft's fully compliant distribution of Apache Hadoop on its Azure cloud platform. Consequently, standard Hadoop concepts and technologies are directly applicable, meaning that knowledge of the Hadoop stack is transferable to the HDInsight service.
In "Introducing Microsoft Azure HDInsight," the authors explore the true meaning of big data, how organizations can leverage it for advantage, and specifically, how the HDInsight service enables them to do so quickly. The book begins with an overview of big data and Hadoop, but it moves beyond pure theory. The authors intend for the reader to gain practical, hands-on experience with HDInsight. To facilitate learning and immediate implementation, the text focuses on a universal use case applicable to most organizations and demonstrates a process that readers can follow.
In the final chapter, the book looks toward the future of HDInsight and provides recommendations for self-directed learning, enabling readers to delve deeper into key concepts and further their education in the field of big data.
