Data engineers required several tools to perform daily activities. The important data engineering tools are:-

spark is an open-source big data processing engine. It is used by almost every organisation to analyse big data.

Apache hive is the data warehouse on top of Hadoop. Using apache hive a user can write SQL queries to analyse big data.

[{"selector":"#anim-39fb84e2-ff13-4cbb-b852-fe74d7e9dc8b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2537c7be-ff1b-4d43-9843-ee7851e846b1","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 132.07330%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Python is the primary language that most data engineers used to perform day-to-day activities.

[{"selector":"#anim-50cd00cb-4ac7-4947-bceb-936bbcf75d55","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c6d5d0a7-3054-4d33-abee-2b154911354b","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 159.14425%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Apache Kafka is an open-source publisher-subscriber messaging queue. Apache Kafka is used to building real-time data pipelines.

[{"selector":"#anim-1a51a0c3-8538-457e-a34c-b7495ce1d0ce","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8736a59d-4122-4a82-9292-3e198a12d17a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 138.77433%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

SQL is a must for a data engineer. There are various tools where information can be extracted from big data by simply using SQL queries.

[{"selector":"#anim-3f49ef49-df12-4b54-9b82-52ee98a65fef","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9b5fa966-939f-47f6-951f-45abf42ba9e5","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 142.89805%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Apache airflow is the data pipeline/workflows orchestration tool. It is usually used to schedule batch spark jobs.

[{"selector":"#anim-a9912a01-a732-4d92-8838-161c0d1a5b19","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d4b38571-70da-46fc-bedb-5b2c5a7636bf","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 172.18774%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Mongodb is a NO-SQL database. It is used by data engineers to save unstructured data as it has a flexible schema.

[{"selector":"#anim-4e5f9165-4399-4727-899a-5fed4902d596","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6e4f9b16-cc7a-4d61-baea-b5a040fe2896","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 172.18774%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]
