There are 6 modules in this course
This comprehensive course delves into both theoretical and practical aspects of big data modeling and management systems. Students first learn about fundamental concepts including data ingestion, storage, quality, operations, scalability, and security. The curriculum then explores different data models such as relational, semistructured, vector space, and graph data models, with hands-on exercises using real datasets. Special attention is given to streaming data, which requires different approaches than static data analysis. The course introduces various Big Data Management Systems (BDMS) including key-value stores like Redis and Aerospike, semistructured data systems like AsterixDB, text management tools like Solr, and relational systems like Vertica. Throughout the modules, case studies from industries such as energy, gaming, and flight data management provide real-world context. The course culminates with a practical project designing a BDMS for a fictional online game.
