Hands-On Big Data Modeling

By: James Lee, Tao Wei, Suresh Kumar Mukhiya

Overview of this book

Modeling and managing data is a central focus of all big data projects. In fact, a database is considered to be effective only if you have a logical and sophisticated data model. This book will help you develop practical skills in modeling your own big data projects and improve the performance of analytical queries for your specific business requirements. To start with, you’ll get a quick introduction to big data and understand the different data modeling and data management platforms for big data. Then you’ll work with structured and semi-structured data with the help of real-life examples. Once you’ve got to grips with the basics, you’ll use the SQL Developer Data Modeler to create your own data models containing different file types such as CSV, XML, and JSON. You’ll also learn to create graph data models and explore data modeling with streaming data using real-world datasets. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to design and develop efficient data models for varying data sizes easily and efficiently.

Summary

There are three types of big data: structured, semi-structured, and unstructured. World Wide Web (WWW) is the largest source of information today, and most of it is semi-structured. We learned about various types of unstructured data modeling and how several open source tools can be used to generate high-quality models.

We discussed VSM and its limitations and advantages and explored its implementation using Lucene. Then we looked at the graph-data model using Gephi and the semi-structured data model of JSON files and XML files. In the next chapter, we are going to explore various structured data models.
