Description

This course aims to provide students an understanding in the operating principles and hands-on experience with mainstream Big Data Computing systems. Open-source platforms for Big Data processing and analytics would be discussed. Topics to be covered include:

• Programming models and design patterns for mainstream Big Data computational frameworks ;

• System Architecture and Resource Management for Data-center-scale Computing ;

• System Architecture and Programming Interface of Distributed Big Data stores ;

• High-level Big Data Query languages and their processing systems ;

• Operational and Programming tools for different stages of the Big Data processing pipeline including data collection/ ingestion, serialization and migration, workflow coordination.

Course Pre-requisite:

This course contains substantial hands-on components which require solid background in programming and hands-on operating systems experience. IERG 4300/ENGG 4030 is an official pre-requisite.
