Hi @fthopf what do you teach in module "Big Data Analytics"?

(Just curious - I teach a course Big Data here, mainly data engineering related and a little bit of analytics.)

@arjenpdevries It's basically an introduction to big data architectures and algorithms, so things like Hadoop, Spark, Map/Reduce, Giraph, Kafka, Storm, etc. In the lab sessions, students play around with Python, Pig, Hive, and pyspark.

@fthopf ah quite similar then! What literature did you prescribe? (You can check out http://rubigdata.github.io/ for our lab sessions.)

@arjenpdevries Oh, that really looks quite similar. You even have the same word count example ;-) I have prepared a longer reading list, but the essential ones are the O'Reilly books (Hadoop: The Definite Guide and Spark: The Definite Guide). Which ones do you recommend?
