Spark Execution Engine – Logical Plan to Physical Plan
November 8, 2017Managed Table vs. External Table In Hive
January 24, 2018We hosted a webinar on November 11th 2017 answering several Hadoop or Big Data interview questions that were asked in real interviews. Couple weeks before the webinar we asked our wonderful Hadoop In Real World community to share interesting or challenging questions they were asked in real interviews. As a result we got several interesting and challenging questions from the community that were asked in real world interviews.
We had so much fun answering those questions in the webinar. The participants were super engaging and we even answered more questions that was asked live by the participants on the webinar.
We quite often hosts webinars like these, sign up below to get invitations to join one of our webinars.
