About this ebook
If you are Hadoop developers who want to build efficient real-time Operation Intelligence Solutions based on Hadoop deployments or various NoSQL data stores using Hunk, this book is for you. Some familiarity with Splunk is assumed.
What You Will LearnDeploy and configure Hunk on top of Cloudera HadoopCreate and configure Virtual Indexes for datasetsMake your data presentable using the wide variety of data visualization components and knowledge objectsDesign a data model using Hunk best practicesAdd more flexibility to your analytics solution via extended SDK and custom visualizationsDiscover data using MongoDB as a data sourceIntegrate Hunk with AWS Elastic MapReduce to improve scalabilityIn DetailHunk is the big data analytics platform that lets you rapidly explore, analyse, and visualize data in Hadoop and NoSQL data stores. It provides a single, fluid user experience, designed to show you insights from your big data without the need for specialized skills, fixed schemas, or months of development. Hunk goes beyond typical data analysis methods and gives you the power to rapidly detect patterns and find anomalies across petabytes of raw data.
This book focuses on exploring, analysing, and visualizing big data in Hadoop and NoSQL data stores with this powerful full-featured big data analytics platform.
You will begin by learning the Hunk architecture and Hunk Virtual Index before moving on to how to easily analyze and visualize data using Splunk Search Language (SPL). Next you will meet Hunk Apps which can easy integrate with NoSQL data stores such as MongoDB or Sqqrl. You will also discover Hunk knowledge objects, build a semantic layer on top of Hadoop, and explore data using the friendly user-interface of Hunk Pivot. You will connect MongoDB and explore data in the data store. Finally, you will go through report acceleration techniques and analyze data in the AWS Cloud.
Style and approachA step-by-step guide starting right from the basics and deep diving into the more advanced and technical aspects of Hunk.

Sergey Sheypak started his so-called big data practice in 2010 as a Teradata PS consultant. His was leading the Teradata Master Data Management deployment in Sberbank, Russia (which has 110 billion customers). Later Sergey switched to AsterData and Hadoop practices. Sergey joined the Research and Development team at MegaFon (one of the top three telecom companies in Russia with 70 billion customers) in 2012. While leading the Hadoop team at MegaFon, Sergey built ETL processes from existing Oracle DWH to HDFS. Automated end-to-end tests and acceptance tests were introduced as a mandatory part of the Hadoop development process. Scoring geospatial analysis systems based on specific telecom data were developed and launched. Now, Sergey works as independent consultant in Sweden.
