Big Data Technologies

Catalog description

The explosion of data collection and aggregation technologies has given rise to data-intensive problems. This course will give students an overview of the big data technologies that will help efficiently store, extract, and process very large datasets. Students will learn key data analysis and management techniques, includingcritical concepts such as Distributed File Systems (storage concepts) and MapReduce/Spark (processing concepts) that power modern big data technologies. In addition, the course will also show how big data technologies can also be used toeffectively analyze large volumes of data.
