In this section, we will utilize the CDH QuickStart VM to work through some of the topics that have been discussed in the current chapter. The exercises do not have to be necessarily performed in a chronological order and are not dependent upon the completion of any of the other exercises.

We will complete the following exercises in this section:

• WordCount using Hadoop MapReduce
• Working with the HDFS
• Downloading and querying data with Apache Hive
