Course Syllabus

Abstract

Course presents a detailed introduction into distributed data processing, relational data ware-houses, multidimensional OLAP tools and massive parallel data processing systems (Hadoop, Cassandra, MongoDB). Students will develop understanding in the design methodology for distributed databases and data warehouses. Practice studies include implementing databases and applications software in map/reduce paradigm and in several NoSQL data models
Learning Objectives

Learning Objectives

  • The objective of the course is to form professional competencies related to design and imple-mentation of several kinds of distributed databases, including data warehouses, online analyti-cal data processing and big data management tools. Students will get a grasp on strengths and weaknesses of wide spectrum of approaches to data storage, search and retrieval, resulting in informed choice of database model. This course studies different conceptual database models and their properties. The models that will be discussed are: • Relational data warehouse; • Multidimensional data warehouse; • Online analytical processing; • Map/reduce massive parallel data processing; • Key/value, document, graph and wide columnar database models; • Data stream processing. For these conceptual models the course will concentrate on the following points: Why was the database model introduced? Which of the shortcomings of other models does it address? What are the most important concepts and notions for the database model? How is the model imple-mented? Which are the main techniques? The importance of understanding the internals of a particular database model cannot be overemphasized as it is closely connected to its limitations.
