Learning outcomes

The course offers an overview of the features and challenges behind Big Data problems, applications and systems. Starting from the so-called 5 Vs of Big Data (volume, velocity, variety, variability, and value), the course focuses on the most common framework, Hadoop, and the next generation systems such as Spark, showing the differences between a traditional Database Management System and a Big Data Management System. The course will also introduce a spatial extension of Hadoop.

Syllabus
