The Perfect Way to Get Started with Data Pipelines, Kafka, and NiFi

Data Engineering Foundations Part 2: Building Data Pipelines with Kafka and NiFi provides over four hours of video introducing you to creating data pipelines at scale with Kafka and NiFi. You learn to work with the Kafka message broker and discover how to establish NiFi dataflow. You also learn about data movement and storage. All software used in videos is open source and freely available for your use and experimentation on the included virtual machine.

  • A working knowledge of Linux systems and tools
  • Familiarity with Python

Lesson Descriptions:

Lesson 7: Working with the Kafka Message Broker

In Lesson 7, Doug introduces introduce the Kafka message broker concept and describes the producer-consumer model that enables input data to be reliably decoupled from output requests. Kafka producers and consumers are developed using Python, and internal broker operations are displayed using the Kafkaesque graphical user interface.

Lesson 8: Working with NiFi Dataflow

Lesson 8 begins with a description of NiFi flow-based programming and then provides several examples that include writing pipeline data to the local file system, then to the Hadoop Distributed File System, and finally to Hadoop Hive tables. The entire flow process is constructed using the NiFi web Graphical User Interface. The creation of portable flow templates for all examples is also presented.

Lesson 9: Big Data Movement and Storage

Lesson 9 provides you with several methods for moving data to and from the Hadoop Distributed File System. Hands-on examples include direct web downloads and using Python Pydoop to move data. Basic data movement between Apache HBase, Hive, and Spark using Python Happybase and Hive-SQL is also presented. Finally, movement of relational data to and from the Hadoop Distributed File System is demonstrated using Apache Sqoop.
