BIG DATA MANAGEMENT ON THE CLOUD

CSE3BDC

2019

Credit points: 15

Subject outline

Companies are acquiring massive amounts of data and also providing internet based service to millions of people. This is extremely challenging due to the large scale of data involved and the huge number of concurrent requests by users. In this subject we will study the current state-of-the-art technologies for analysing huge amounts of data and responding to millions of user requests within one second. Currently the most cost efficient way of achieving the above aim is to use large-scale cloud-based services offered by vendors such as Amazon, Google, IBM, Microsoft, etc. We will study how to use the cloud services provided by these vendors to meet the big data needs of businesses. In particular this subject will include the following topics: cloud architectures, parallel database systems, map and reduce, key value stores, transaction support in the cloud, virtualization, and multi-tenant database systems.

Graduate capabilities & intended learning outcomes

01. Identify the benefits of using cloud computing over traditional methods for managing big data.

Activities:: Lectures on the architecture of cloud-based systems in weeks 1 and 2. The students will practice this by answering questions during lectures and answering study questions.

02. Identify the best type of cloud-based service to use for a particular application scenario.

Activities:: Lectures in week 2 and 3 on the three types of cloud-based services including: infrastructure as a service, platform as a service and software as a service. The students will practice this by answering questions during lectures and answering study questions.

03. Write efficient map and reduce programs to analyze large data sets.

Activities:: The students will pratice answering questions during lectures in week 4 and 5. The students will practice programming map and reduce in the labs and during the programming assignment.

04. Write efficient programs that query cloud-hosted database systems.

Activities:: The students will practice answering questions during lectures in week 6. The students will practice writing cloud-hosted database queries in the labs and during the programming assignment.

05. Setup cloud-hosted database systems.

Activities:: Students will practice setting up cloud-based database systems during the labs.
