becoming a data engineer (yet another top 10 list)

after a recent class i was asked what skills someone needs to become a data engineer – there are plenty of these lists all over the internet, yet here i go assuming i know enough to jot down yet another; at least i put mine all in a single picture 😉

batch as a “special case” of flink streaming (yes, now we’re mv’ing streaming back to batch)

the third part of a loosely coupled trilogy on flink batch and streaming that take us full-circle with the collapse of the DataSet API into the DataStream API — i’m not sure Run-D.M.C. could make this less tricky

big data api’s look a lot alike (code comparison with flink, kafka, spark, trident and pig)

exploring the similarity of the APIs from flink, kafka streams, spark (RDDs & DFs), storm’s trident and yes, even good old pig by implementing the canonical word count solution with each framework
