Apache Cassandra, Spark and Spark Streaming for Real Time Big Data Analytics

Monday, 9:00 AM EST

Apache Cassandra is one of the best solutions for storing and
retrieving data. We will explore data analytics cluster computing
framework with real-world examples. It is 100x faster than Hadoop!
We will start with an introduction to Apache Cassandra. We will explore challenges encountered when attempting to scale
with relational databases, and how NoSQL databases like Cassandra address those problems. It reviews the Cassandra architecture, benefits, and how to use the Cassandra read and write paths.

Later, you will learn how to effectively and efficiently solve analytical problems using Apache Spark, Apache Cassandra, and DataStax. You will learn about Spark API, Spark-Cassandra Connector, Spark SQL, Spark Streaming, and fundamental performance optimization techniques.
Big Data applications nowadays require a faster speed of data
processing and analysis.
