Optimising Hive Queries with Tez Query Engine Data Science by Sunny Srinidhi - June 13, 2022June 13, 20220 Hive provides us the option of executing SQL queries with a few different query engines. It ships with the native MapReduce engine. But we can switch that to Tez which has gained popularity since its launch, or we can also use Apache Spark as well.

Understanding Apache Hive LLAP Data Science by Sunny Srinidhi - November 18, 2021November 18, 20210 Apache Hive is a complex system when you look at it, but once you go looking for more info, it’s more interesting than complex. There are multiple query engines available for Hive, and then there’s LLAP on top of the query engines to make real-time, interactive queries more workable.

Installing Hadoop on Windows 11 with WSL2 Data Science by Sunny Srinidhi - November 1, 2021November 1, 20213 In the previous post, we saw how to install a Linux distro on Windows 11 using WSL2 and then how to install Zsh and on-my-zsh to make the terminal more customizable. In this post, we’ll see how we can install the complete Hadoop environment on the same Windows 11 machine using WSL. Read more... “Installing Hadoop on Windows 11 with WSL2”
Installing Zsh and Oh-my-zsh on Windows 11 with WSL2 Tech by Sunny Srinidhi - October 27, 2021October 27, 20211 Before we begin, you might ask, why am I writing on something this trivial? I sold off my old MacBook Pro because I’m super excited about the new M1 Pro MacBook Pros. I have pre-ordered one of those and am waiting for it to come.

Getting Started With Apache Airflow Data Science by Sunny Srinidhi - October 11, 2021October 11, 20210 Apache Airflow is another awesome tool that I discovered just recently. Just a couple of months after discovering it, I can’t imagine not using it now. It’s reliable, configurable, and dynamic. Because it’s all driven by code, you can version control it too.

Fake (almost) everything with Faker Data Science by Sunny Srinidhi - September 30, 2021September 30, 20210 I was recently tasked with creating some random customer data, with names, phone numbers, addresses, and the usual other stuff. At first, I thought I’ll just generate random strings and numbers (some gibberish) and call it a day. But then I remembered my colleagues using a package for that.

Querying Hive Tables From a Spring Boot App Data Science Tech by Sunny Srinidhi - June 30, 2021June 30, 20211 In this post, we’ll see how we can query tables that reside in Hive using a Spring Boot application. As always, I’m going to use a Spring Boot web app with a few GET APIs to show how we can query data from Hive. Read more... “Querying Hive Tables From a Spring Boot App”
Lemmatization in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning Data Science by Sunny Srinidhi - February 26, 2020February 26, 20200 Lemmatization is one of the most common text pre-processing techniques used in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and machine learning in general. If you've already read my post about stemming of words in NLP, you'll already know that lemmatization is not that much different. Both in stemming and in lemmatization, we try to reduce a given word to its root word. The root word is called a stem in the stemming process, and it is called a lemma in the lemmatization process. But there are a few more differences to the two than that. Let's see what those are. How is Lemmatization different from Stemming In stemming, a part of the word is just chopped off at the tail end to arrive at
