CSC 530 Advanced Database

Students taking this course will learn the techniques used by computers to manage large amounts of data for storage and querying.  We will examine a specific system, Hadoop, which was designed for these purposes.  Interacting with Hadoop will require students to have a basic understanding of the Linux operating system.  We will therefore begin the course with an introduction to basic Linux administration.  The course requires students to be proficient in Java, which is the language we will use to write our Hadoop programs.  Prerequisite: CSC 503.
