Contents
NoSQL database systems have proven themselves in a variety of applications where non-SQL-based systems are required for the
management of large and rapidly growing databases are no longer adequate. In this context, NoSQL systems offer advantages
in distributed and scalable management, as well as a more application-oriented data model. The lecture covers the following topics
menus:
1) Introduction to distributed computing such as Apache Spark.
2) Overview of different types of NoSQL systems (such as Cassandra, MongoDB, ElasticSearch).
Qualification Goals
Students will
- know distributed data management techniques and can apply them,
- know basic knowledge and for dealing with NoSQL systems ,
- can use these systems in an application context,
- are able to recognize differences between various NoSQL systems and relational systems,
- are able to speak freely about scientific content, both in front of an audience and in a discussion.
