Second Tutorial [posted on Sept 14]
We will hold a second tutorial in this Saturday (Sep 16) afternoon. The venue and time of this tutorial is as follows:
Date: September 16, 2017 (Saturday)
Time: 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Venue: ERB1008
This tutorial will follow the same flavor as Tutorial 1: you should start HW#0 as soon as possible. Whenever any problems encountered, you should try your best to solve it on your own via, for instance, checking Hadoop log, asking Google or discussing with classmates (In the last case, you need to declare the discussion). TAs are there only as the last resort.
Please make sure you can setup a Hadoop cluster successfully, since we will re-use the cluster in Homework#1. Therefore, do not delete/ terminate the cluster after HW#0. You can stop it to save the credit.
If you have any problem, you are encouraged to post it to the Blackboard discussion forum [1].

First Tutorial [posted on Sept 7]
We will hold the first tutorial in this Saturday afternoon. The venue and time of this tutorial is as follows:
Date: September 9, 2017 (Saturday)
Time: 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Venue: ERB1008
In this tutorial, the TAs will help you to complete Homework#0 (e.g., providing hints if you have met abnormal problems). To fully utilize the time, you are suggested to start Homework0 AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. In particular, would you please set up your account in Google Cloud Platform [1] to get $300 free credit (the suggested platform) or apply for AWS Education program for students [2]. Note that such application can take several hours, therefore, you should start it at your earliest convenient time. Once the account is setup, you can follow Homework#0 to launch instances and setup the cluster accordingly.
