As part of this course, you will be learning to build streaming pipelines by integrating Kafka and Spark Structured Streaming. Let us go through the details about what is covered in the course. First of all, we need to have the proper environment to build streaming pipelines using Kafka and Spark Structured Streaming on top of Hadoop or any other distributed file system. As part of the course, you will start with setting up a self-support lab with all the key components such as Hadoop, Hive, Spark, and Kafka on a single node Linux-based system. Once the environment is set up you will go through the details related to getting started with Kafka. As part of that process, you will create a Kafka topic, produce messages into the topic as well as consume messages from the topic. You will also learn how to use Kafka Connect to ingest data from web server logs into Kafka topic as well as ingest data from Kafka topic into HDFS as a sink. Once you understand Kafka from the perspective of Data Ingestion, you will get an overview of some of the key concepts of related Spark Structured Streaming. After learning Kafka and Spark Structured streaming separately, you will build a streaming pipeline to consume data from Kafka topic using Spark Structured Streaming, then process and write to different targets. You will also learn how to take care of incremental data processing using Spark Structured Streaming. Course OutlineHere is a brief outline of the course.
