What is CCA-175 Spark and Hadoop Developer Certification?

CCA-175 is basically an Apache Hadoop with Apache Spark and Scala Training and Certification Program. The major objective of this program is to help Hadoop developers to establish a formidable command, over the current traditional Hadoop Development protocols with advanced tools and operational procedures.

The program deals with the following segments:

Apache Hadoop

Apache Hadoop is a powerful software framework designed to provide distributed storage and processing system. It is open-source software designed an deployed by the Apache Foundation.

Apache Spark

Apache Spark is a Lightning Fast Data Processing Tool used on top of Apache Hadoop Distributed File System(HDFS). It is an Open-Source Data Processing tool developed by Apache Foundation.

Scala Programming Language

Scala is an advanced programmed language developed using Java Programming language. It is used to execute data processing commands in Spark on top of Hadoop.

 

CCA-175 Spark and Hadoop Developer Certification Exam Format

Let me give you a brief understanding of CCA-175 Spark and Hadoop Developer Certification Exam.

The total number of questions asked in this particular exam will be in between 8 to 12. The questions will be purely performance-based (hands-on) tasks on Cloudera Enterprise cluster. 

The total time limit provided for this particular exam is exactly 120 minutes.

Any Hadoop Developer attending this Examination is expected to score at least 70% to clear this examination and get certified.

The current pricing of this examination is US$ 295$ to 300$. (21,000 rupees INR to 22,000 INR)

 

Sample Question from CCA-175 exam

Solution:

Step 1:

sqoop import 
--connect "jdbc:mysql://quickstart.cloudera:3306/retail_db" 
--username retail_dba 
--password cloudera 
--table orders 
--compress 
--compression-codec org.apache.hadoop.io.compress.SnappyCodec 
--target-dir /user/cloudera/problem1/orders 
--as-avrodatafile;

Step 2:

sqoop import 
--connect "jdbc:mysql://quickstart.cloudera:3306/retail_db" 
--username retail_dba 
--password cloudera 
--table order_items 
--compress 
--compression-codec org.apache.hadoop.io.compress.SnappyCodec 
--target-dir /user/cloudera/problem1/order-items 
--as-avrodatafile;

Step3:

//start a new terminal and fire this command.
spark-shell
//now, continue executing these commands below.
import com.databricks.spark.avro._;
var ordersDF = sqlContext.read.avro("/user/cloudera/problem1/orders");
var orderItemDF = sqlContext.read.avro("/user/cloudera/problem1/order-items");

Step 4:

var joinedOrderDataDF = ordersDF.join(orderItemDF,ordersDF("order_id")===orderItemDF("order_item_order_id"))

Step 4a:

import org.apache.spark.sql.functions._;
var dataFrameResult = joinedOrderDataDF.groupBy(to_date(from_unixtime(col("order_date")/1000)).alias("order_formatted_date"),col("order_status")).agg(round(sum("order_item_subtotal"),2).alias("total_amount"),countDistinct("order_id").alias("total_orders")).orderBy(col("order_formatted_date").desc,col("order_status"),col("total_amount").desc,col("total_orders"));
dataFrameResult.show();

Step 4b:

joinedOrderDataDF.registerTempTable("order_joined");
var sqlResult = sqlContext.sql("select to_date(from_unixtime(cast(order_date/1000 as bigint))) as order_formatted_date, order_status, cast(sum(order_item_subtotal) as DECIMAL (10,2)) as total_amount, count(distinct(order_id)) as total_orders from order_joined group by to_date(from_unixtime(cast(order_date/1000 as bigint))), order_status order by order_formatted_date desc,order_status,total_amount desc, total_orders");
sqlResult.show();

Step 4c:

var comByKeyResult =joinedOrderDataDF.map(x=> ((x(1).toString,x(3).toString),(x(8).toString.toFloat,x(0).toString))).combineByKey((x:(Float, String))=>(x._1,Set(x._2)),(x:(Float,Set[String]),y:(Float,String))=>(x._1 + y._1,x._2+y._2),(x:(Float,Set[String]),y:(Float,Set[String]))=>(x._1+y._1,x._2++y._2)).map(x=> (x._1._1,x._1._2,x._2._1,x._2._2.size)).toDF().orderBy(col("_1").desc,col("_2"),col("_3").desc,col("_4"));
comByKeyResult.show();

Step 5:

sqlContext.setConf("spark.sql.parquet.compression.codec","gzip");
dataFrameResult.write.parquet("/user/cloudera/problem1/result4a-gzip");
sqlResult.write.parquet("/user/cloudera/problem1/result4b-gzip");
comByKeyResult.write.parquet("/user/cloudera/problem1/result4c-gzip");

Step 6:

sqlContext.setConf("spark.sql.parquet.compression.codec","snappy");
dataFrameResult.write.parquet("/user/cloudera/problem1/result4a-snappy");
sqlResult.write.parquet("/user/cloudera/problem1/result4b-snappy");
comByKeyResult.write.parquet("/user/cloudera/problem1/result4c-snappy");

Step 7:

dataFrameResult.map(x=> x(0) + "," + x(1) + "," + x(2) + "," + x(3)).saveAsTextFile("/user/cloudera/problem1/result4a-csv")
sqlResult.map(x=> x(0) + "," + x(1) + "," + x(2) + "," + x(3)).saveAsTextFile("/user/cloudera/problem1/result4b-csv")
comByKeyResult.map(x=> x(0) + "," + x(1) + "," + x(2) + "," + x(3)).saveAsTextFile("/user/cloudera/problem1/result4c-csv")

Step 8a:

Fire up a new terminal and type in this command
mysql -h localhost -u retail_dba -p
//default password is:
cloudera

Step 8b:

create table retail_db.result(order_date varchar(255) not null,order_status varchar(255) not null, total_orders int, total_amount numeric, constraint pk_order_result primary key (order_date,order_status));

Step 8c:

sqoop export 
--table result 
--connect "jdbc:mysql://quickstart.cloudera:3306/retail_db" 
--username retail_dba 
--password cloudera 
--export-dir "/user/cloudera/problem1/result4a-csv" 
--columns "order_date,order_status,total_amount,total_orders"
