This Apache ORC Training is designed to equip delegates with a detailed knowledge of Apache ORC.

The Knowledge Academy’s Apache OCR Training will introduce delegates to ORC adapters and types. Delegates will gain knowledge of Apache ORC’s three levels of indexes. In addition, delegates will learn how to build Apache ORC. Delegates will get familiarised with hive DDL and configuration, including table and configuration properties.

During this 1-day course, delegates will learn how to read and write ORC files. Delegates will get an understanding of how to send OrcStruct, OrcList, OrcMap through the shuffle. This Apache ORC Training will fully prepare delegates on how to use Apache ORC tools – C++ and Java tools. Post completion of this training, delegates will be able to use Java meta, data, scan, convert, and JSON Schema.

Course Objectives

To understand fundamentals of Apache ORC and its architectur
To apply ORC with Python frameworks like PyArrow and Dask
To implement ORC in MapReduce for file processing
To utilise ORC Core in both Java and C++ environments
To explore ORC tools for scanning and data management
To optimise big data operations with ORC integration

After attending this training, delegates will be able to confidently apply Apache ORC in big data environments to enhance storage efficiency, query performance, and system scalability. They will be capable of building and integrating ORC with multiple platforms, including Spark, Hive, MapReduce, and Python, to streamline data workflows. Delegates will also be skilled in using ORC tools to inspect metadata, manage content, and convert formats for improved data handling.
