What are the main characteristics of NOSQL systems in the areas related to distributed systems and distributed databases?

 CHARACTERISTICS RELATED TO DISTRIBUTED DATABASES AND DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS



 1.  Scalability: 

  • horizontal scalability: adding more nodes for data storage and processing as the volume of data grows.
  •  Vertical scalability: expanding the storage and computing power of existing nodes. 
  • In NoSQL systems, horizontal scalability is employed while the system is operational, so techniques for distributing the existing data among new nodes without interrupting system operation are necessary.

 2. Availability, Replication, and Eventual Consistency: 

  • Data is replicated over two or more nodes in a transparent manner. 
  • An update must be applied to every copy of the replicated data items. 
  •  Eventual consistency: is a consistency model used in distributed computing to achieve high availability that informally guarantees that, if no new updates are made to a given data item, eventually all accesses to that item will return the last updated value.

 3. Replication Models: 

  • Master-slave replication: requires one copy to be the master copy; 
  • Write operations must be applied to the master copy, usually using eventual consistency 
  • For read, all reads are from the master copy, or reads at the slave copies but would not guarantee that the values are the latest writes. 
  • Master-master replication: allows reads and writes at any of the replicas. 
  • The values of an item will be temporarily inconsistent. 
  • Reconciliation method to resolve conflicting write operations of the same data item at different nodes must be implemented as part of the master-master replication scheme.

Suppose that a data warehouse for Big-University consists of the following four dimensions: student, course, semester, and instructor, and two measures count and avg_grade. When at the lowest conceptual level (e.g., for a given student, course, semester, and instructor combination), the avg_grade measure stores the actual course grade of the student. At higher conceptual levels, avg_grade stores the average grade for the given combination. a) Draw a snowflake schema diagram for the data warehouse. b) Starting with the base cuboid [student, course, semester, instructor], what specific OLAP operations (e.g., roll-up from semester to year) should one perform in order to list the average grade of CS courses for each BigUniversity student. c) If each dimension has five levels (including all), such as “student < major < status < university < all”, how many cuboids will this cube contain (including the base and apex cuboids)?

a) A Snowflake Shema is shown in figure below: b) The specific OLAP operations to be performed: 1. Roll-up on course from course_id to department. 2. Roll-up on a student from student_id to university. 3. Dice on course, student with department ="CS" and university = "biguniversity" 4. Drill-down on a student from the university to student_name. c) N = 4 dimensions The cube will contain 54 = 625 cuboids.

Suppose that a data warehouse consists of the four dimensions; date, spectator, location, and game, and the two measures, count and charge, where charge is the fee that a spectator pays when watching a game on a given date. Spectators may be students, adults, or seniors, with each category having its own charge rate. a) Draw a star schema diagram for the data b) Starting with the base cuboid [date; spectator; location; game], what specific OLAP operations should perform in order to list the total charge paid by student spectators at GM Place in 2004?

Roll-up on location from location id to location name. 4. Roll-up on the game from game id to all. 5. Dice with status= “students”, location name= “GM Place”, and year=2004

Network topology Network topology refers to how the nodes and links in a network are arranged. A network node is a device that can send, receive, store, or forward data. A network link connects nodes and may be either cabled or wireless links. Understanding topology types provides the basis for building a successful network. There are a number of topologies but the most common are bus, ring, star, and mesh: A bus network topology is when every network node is directly connected to a main cable. In a ring topology, nodes are connected in a loop, so each device has exactly two neighbors. Adjacent pairs are connected directly; non-adjacent pairs are connected indirectly through multiple nodes. In a star network topology, all nodes are connected to a single, central hub and each node is indirectly connected through that hub.  A mesh topology is defined by overlapping connections between nodes. You can create a full mesh topology, where every node in the network is connected to every other
