My latest Pluralsight course is out now:
It's an in-depth look at the Azure Big Data offerings that went live this year - HDInsight clusters
Nginx is a great web server, giving you high performance with minimal overhead. It's also easy to set up as a reverse proxy, to balance load across multiple servers.
With HBase, the
When you spin up an Azure HDInsight cluster running HBase, you get a functional HBase installation that just happens to be running on Windows - it's actually powered by the Hortonworks Data
Running a massively scalable NoSQL database in the cloud is super easy, but not cheap if you want to run it 24x7. The managed offering from Azure - a dedicated HDInsight cluster
In previous posts, I've looked at Unit testing Storm .NET applications using the LocalContext and a mock Context to test your .NET bolts, and A stub Event Hub Spout for testing Storm
If you're using Apache Storm on HDInsight and consuming events from Event Hubs, the current 'get started' approach is to use a hybrid topology with a Java spout provided by Microsoft, and
When you're building Storm apps, the functionality lends itself to the usual suspects of automated testing: unit tests, to ensure your bolts behave correctly when they get the expected input, and integration
The HDInsight Emulator doesn't provide HBase, which makes it hard to program locally against HBase.
When you're developing and running automated tests, you want to prove your data access is working correctly,
