Big Data Training Overview

This course starts with the fundamental concepts of using a highly-scalable, column-oriented database to implement appropriate use cases.

It will cover topics like Cassandra Datamodels, Cassandra Architecture, Differences between RDBMS and Cassandra to name a few.

Big Data Training Learning Objectives

After the completion of this course, you should be able to:

• Understand Cassandra and NoSQL domain.
• Create Cassandra cluster for different kinds of applications.
• Understand Apache Cassandra Architecture.
• Design and model Applications for Cassandra.
• Learn how to Port existing application from RDBMS to Cassandra.
• Learn to use Cassandra with various programming languages.

• A developer working with large-scale, high-volume websites.
• An application architect or data architect who needs to understand the available options for high-performance, decentralized, elastic data stores
• A database administrator or database developer currently working with standard relational database systems who needs to understand how to implement a fault-tolerant, eventually consistent data store
• A manager who wants to understand the advantages (and disadvantages) of Cassandra and related columnar databases to help make decisions about technology strategy
• A student, analyst, or researcher who is designing a project related to Cassandra or other non-relational data store options.

• This course assumes no prior knowledge of Apache Cassandra or any other NoSQL database.
• Though some familiarity with Linux command line is essential, good exposure to Java, database and/or data-warehouse concepts is required.
