CS585. Big Data Management

Project Teams:

Students will form teams of two to work in each project.

Hadoop Platform:
A virtual machine will be available for download that includes the needed platform for the projects. The virtual machine (around 7GB in size) will basically consist of:
        -- Ubuntu OS (Version 12.10)
        -- Hadoop platform (Version 1.1.0)
        -- Apache Pig (Version 0.10.0)
        -- Mahout library (Version 0.7)
-- RHadoop
        -- In addition to other software such as: Jave (Version 1.7) , C (Version 4.7), Perl (Version 5.14.2), Python (Version 2.7.3), etc.

Virtual Box:
       The virtual machine is named "ubuntu-Hadoop-VBoxVersion.ova.zip", and can be downloaded (Here). For this version you will need "VirtualBox" software (Free) available Here.

VMWare:
       The virtual machine is named "ubuntu-Hadoop-VMWareVersion.zip", and can be downloaded (Here). For this version you will need "VMWare" software (Not Free) available Here.

Note: All students are granted access to the VMWare software available on the Zoo lab machines. So, either you can work from your own PC or laptop, or you can use the Zoo lab facility.

Note: Some projects may use platforms other than Hadoop.
