Syllabus

Introduction to HBase
In this module, you will first be introduced to your instructor and the course. Then, we will delve into HBase, exploring NoSQL Databases, HDFS, HBase Architecture and components, and HBase clusters. We'll compare HBase with other big data landscapes, and discuss creating effective data modeling and schema design.

HBase Querying and Data Access
In this module, we will discuss importing data to HBase using Sqoop, and explore querying techniques such as Scans, Filters, and Get requests, then practice constructing HBase queries in a lab environment. We will take a look at advanced querying using a Java application, and optimizing HBase performance using caching and scan optimization. Lastly, we will discuss manipulating data using batch operations for improving performance.

HBase in Real-Time Applications
In this final module, we will discuss HBase data modelling for real-time applications, delving into strategies and use cases. We will also explore deployment strategies for real-time applications, starting with best practices and applying it in a lab environment. Lastly, we will take a look at HBase scalability and availability in real-time applications, discussing limitations and techniques for analyzing performance, before practicing what you have learned.

Infonomics II: Business Information Management and Measurement (Coursera)

Even decades into the Information Age, accounting practices yet fail to recognize the financial value of information. Moreover, traditional asset management practices fail to recognize information as an asset to be managed with earnest discipline. This has led to a business culture of complacence, and the inability for most organizations to fully leverage available information assets. This second course in the two-part Infonomics series explores how and why to adapt well-honed asset management principles and practices to information, and how to apply accepted and new valuation models to gauge information’s potential and realized economic benefits.
