Chapter 1: Big Data Introduction and Demand – In this opening chapter, we embark on a journey to explore the foundations of Big Data. We will delve into the very concept of Big Data, its significance in today’s world, and the growing demand for solutions that can handle its challenges. We will also examine industry examples of how Big Data is being utilized and the myriad of possibilities it presents.
Chapter 2: NoSQL Data Management – This chapter takes us into the realm of NoSQL databases, offering an introduction to these non-relational data stores. We will compare SQL and NoSQL databases, explore the nuances of data consistency in NoSQL, and take a deep dive into the HBase database. Additionally, we will discuss the MapReduce paradigm and key concepts like partitioning and combining.
Chapter 3: MapReduce Technique – This chapter discusses a paradigm widely employed in the realm of distributed computing, that revolutionizes the processing of vast datasets with efficiency and scalability. Developed by Google, this technique serves as a cornerstone in the field of big data analytics. By harnessing the power of parallel processing and fault tolerance, MapReduce enables the seamless analysis of massive datasets across distributed clusters, making it a pivotal tool in addressing the challenges posed by the ever-expanding volume of data in diverse domains.
Chapter 4: Basics of Hadoop – To lay a solid foundation for your journey into Big Data technologies, this chapter introduces you to the basics of Hadoop. We will cover essential topics like data formats, analyzing data with Hadoop, scaling strategies, and the design of the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS). Concepts such as data flow, Hadoop I/O, compression, serialization, and Avro file-based data structures will be explored in detail.
...
Chapter 10: Spark – As we conclude our journey through Big Data and related technologies, this chapter introduces Apache Spark, a powerful framework for distributed data processing. We will explore its capabilities and understand how it fits into the Big Data landscape, setting the stage for your next adventure in data processing.
