Apache Hadoop is increasingly in popularity as a framework for large-scale, data-intensive applications. Tuning Hadoop clusters is vital to improve cluster performance. In this course you will look at the importance of incident and log management and examine the best practices for root cause analysis. This learning path can be used as part of the preparation for the Cloudera Certified Administrator for Apache Hadoop (CCA-500) exam.
