You are a data analyst in a large-scale social media enterprise. The enterprise stores departmental data in multiple formats such as PDF, XML, and JSON. A large amount of data is stored in the local file system of multiple computers. You need to consolidate this large amount of data and analyze it for business-critical decisions in near future.
You can consolidate data in the Hadoop environment and run various analytics tools to analyze the data quickly. You can use Hadoop Files Connector to read data from complex files in multiple formats from the local file systems and write data to HDFS. After you write data to HDFS, use tools such as Hadoop Analytics to analyze the data.
