304 PointsMap Reduce was not covered as part of the Big Data course.
Can you please throw some light on that - where to use, with examples etc?

229,657 PointsOh I thought they had thrown the term out without explaining it. You're just looking for information on the topic.
Perhaps your best resource is this MapReduce Totorial in the official Apache documentation. It comprehensively describes all user-facing facets of the Hadoop MapReduce framework and includes code examples.

304 PointsThe course was about terminologies and tech stack used in Big Data. I was expecting MapReduce when it talked about Hadoop in the course.

229,657 PointsIn what context did you see these terms mentioned, can you provide a link? I'm familiar with these in various programming languages, but I don't recall any language-specific elements in that course.
