  • As part of my internship, I implemented a Slowly Changing Dimension (SCD) Type 1 pipeline to handle updated data efficiently, where new data overwrites existing records. This project gave me hands-on experience with ETL processes, Hive, Sqoop, HDFS, and MySQL.
  • Process Flow:
  • 1. Automated scripts to transfer files from the local file system to MySQL, ensuring seamless data ingestion.
  • 2. Created a Sqoop job to load data from MySQL into HDFS (Hadoop Distributed File System), facilitating distributed storage and processing.
  • 3. Designed and populated internal Hive tables by transferring data from HDFS.
  • 4. Created external Hive tables with dynamic partitioning and loaded data from internal tables to enable optimized querying.
  • 5. Applied SCD Type 1 logic to update records, ensuring that only the latest data was retained.
  • 6. Exported the updated data from Hive external tables back to SQL for data reconciliation and validation, completing the end-to-end pipeline.
  • This project enhanced my understanding of ETL workflows, data warehousing concepts, and Hadoop ecosystem tools, and gave me practical experience in building automated, scalable data pipelines.
