Study Notes

Introduction to Massive Data Processing

  • Massive data processing involves handling large datasets
  • Important aspects include infrastructure, types, development, and applications
  • Big data is characterized by the 3 Vs: Volume, Variety, Velocity

Big Data Infrastructures

  • Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) is a distributed file system
  • HDFS combines storage capacity of multiple distributed machines into one large system
  • HDFS allows creating directories and storing data as files in a distributed manner
  • Key features of HDFS include distributed storage for scalability and fault tolerance, horizontal scalability for increased capacity, cost-effectiveness, fault tolerance to handle hardware failures, and high throughput
  • Data is generated from various sources like social networks, web applications, mobile apps, IoT devices, and logs

Distributing and Storing Data

  • Methods for transmitting and distributing data between distributed applications include message brokers
  • Technologies like Hadoop HDFS, NoSQL databases such as Cassandra, MongoDB, databases like HBase, Elasticsearch, and others are used to store data

Big Data Processing Types

  • Batch processing:
    • Processes all data over a set period
    • Typically used for processing historical data
    • Usually involves hundreds of millions or billions of records of data stored in systems like HDFS, relational databases, or NoSQL databases
  • Stream processing:
    • Processes data immediately as it arrives
    • Useful for real-time applications like fraud detection, live stock market analysis, or financial transactions
  • Real-time processing vs. batch processing: Key difference is that data is processed in real-time, rather than over a period of time
  • Technologies for stream processing include Kafka Streams, Storm, Flink, and Samza

Hadoop Ecosystem

  • Hadoop is a framework for creating massively distributed applications across thousands of nodes for efficient data processing
  • It enables distributed storage of data in petabytes
  • Hadoop is composed of multiple modules for file storage (HDFS), cluster resource management (YARN), and distributed data processing (MapReduce)
  • Key components of Hadoop include HDFS, MapReduce, HBase, Spark, Hive, Oozie, Mahout, Sqoop, Storm and Flume.

Cloud Computing for Big Data

  • Cloud computing provides on-demand access to scalable computing resources for efficient data processing including storage
  • Key cloud computing advantages are scalability, cost efficiency, flexibility and global access
  • Key models include Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS)
  • Many benefits include scalability, cost management, disaster recovery, and reduced time to market
  • Cloud platforms like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and IBM support Big Data workloads

Challenges of Cloud Computing

  • Concerns exist about data security, particularly storing sensitive data. Encryption and compliance procedures are essential
  • Effective cost management is crucial to avoid potential overspending on cloud resources. Proper monitoring tools can help
  • Transferring large datasets to and from the cloud can involve latency and costs. Data transfer time, and potential costs must be considered.
