Hi Everyone, I am planning for HCA - HORTONWORKS CERTIFIED ASSOCIATE Certification in somtime. I have been referring to the exam objective as mentioned below - examobjectives-hcassociate.pdf I need some tips to make more solid foundation on my preparation for this exam. Considering there is no sample test or question available , I am struggling to understand the depth , I need to go through for each topic. Considering the exam broad defines itself into below categorties as mentioned in examobjectives-hcassociate.pdf 1. Data Access 2. Data Management 3. Data Governance and Workflow 4. Operations 5. Security My query is whether we need to just focus on objective component - What each component does and How it does ? (first two sections) or whether we need to see and understand all the tutorials , blogs and go in depth. Considering it being very vast and covering many Ecosystem component , understanding this will be really helpful. Thanks, Ankur ... View more

Hi Friends, Needed a help here. I have picked up one of the xmls lying in the trafficLocs_data_for_simulator.zip. My objective is to convert XML to Avro format. The tutorials has shown us how to convert XML to JSON format by using AttributesToJSON processor. I am facing issue while configuring ConvertJSONToAvro processor. I have used the Record Schema as mentioned below - { "type": "record", "name" : "first", "namespace" : "xml", "fields" : [{"name" : "Direction_of_Travel", "type" : "string" }, { "name" : "Latitude", "type" : "float" }, { "name" : "Longitude", "type" : "float" }, { "name" : "Vehicle_ID", "type" : "integer" }, { "name" : "Vehicle_Speed"," type" : "integer" }] } I am getting red alert symbol mentioning it as Failed to Parse Record Schema. Any pointers will help. Thanks, Ankur K ... View more
