 GOOGLE BIGTABLE

  • Google Bigtable is a distributed, column-oriented data store developed by Google Inc. to manage massive volumes of structured data related to the company's Internet search and Web services operations.
  • Bigtable was created to enable applications that need large scalability; the technology was meant to be utilized with petabytes of data from its inception. The database was designed to run on clustered servers and has a basic data format described by Google as "a sparse, distributed, permanent multi-dimensional sorted map." The data is placed in order by row key, and the map's indexing is sorted by row, column keys, and timestamps. Algorithms for compression aid in achieving high capacity.
  • BigTable is a petabyte scale, fully managed NoSQL database service designed for big analytical and operational workloads. Google Cloud Bigtable is a NoSQL Big Data database service. It's the same database that underpins many of Google's main services, such as Search, Analytics, Maps, and Gmail.' 
  • Google Bigtable is the database used by Google App Engine Datastore, Google Personalized Search, Google Earth, and Google Analytics. Google has kept the program as a private, internal technology. Nonetheless, Bigtable has had a significant effect on the architecture of NoSQL databases.
  • Because of Google's detailed disclosure of Bigtable's internal workings, other corporations and which source development teams have created Bigtable equivalents, such as the Apache HBase database, which is designed to run on top of the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS). Cassandra, which is developed at Facebook Inc., and Hypertable, an open-source solution that is sold in a commercial version as an alternative to HBase , are two examples.

What is RMI? Discuss stub and skeleton. Explain its role in creating distributed applications.

-
 The RMI (Remote Method Invocation) is an API that provides a mechanism to create distributed application in java. The RMI allows an object to invoke methods on an object running in another JVM. The RMI provides remote communication between the applications using two objects stub and skeleton. RMI applications often comprise two separate programs, a server and a client. A typical server program creates some remote objects, makes references to these objects accessible, and waits for clients to invoke methods on these objects. A typical client program obtains a remote reference to one or more remote objects on a server and then invokes methods on them.  RMI provides the mechanism by which the server and the client communicate and pass information back and forth. A primary goal for the RMI designers was to allow programmers to develop distributed Java programs with the same syntax and semantics used for non-distributed programs. To do this, they had to carefully map how Java clas...

Discuss classification or taxonomy of virtualization at different levels.

Taxonomy of virtualization Virtualization is mainly used to emulate the execution environment, storage, and networks. The execution environment is classified into two: – Process-level – implemented on top of an existing operating system.  – System-level – implemented directly on hardware and does not or minimum requirement of the existing operating system. OR,  Virtualization covers a wide range of emulation techniques that are applied to different areas of computing. A classification of these techniques helps us better understand their characteristics and use  V irtualization is mainly used to emulate  ● Execution Environments: To provide support for the execution of the programs eg. OS, and Application.  ○ Process Level: Implemented on top of an existing OS that has full control of the hardware  ○ System Level: Implemented directly on Hardware and do not require support from existing OS.  ● Storage: Storage vi...

Explain CORBA architecture briefly.

-
Image
  ARCHITECTURE OF CORBA The major components that make up the CORBA architecture include the: Interface Definition Language (IDL), Object Request Broker (ORB), The Portable Object Adaptor (POA), Naming Service, and Inter-ORB Protocol (IIOP). Interface Definition languages: CORBA uses the concept of an interface Definition language to implement the services. IDL is a neutral programming language method of defining how a service is implemented. The syntax of this language is independent of any programming language. IDL is used to define an interface, which describes the methods that are available and the parameters that are required when a call is made for a remote object. Object Request Broker (ORB): The foundation of CORBA architecture is based on the Object Request Broker (ORB). The ORB is prime mechanism that acts as a middleware between the client and the server. It provides a heterogeneous environment in which a client can remotely communicate with the server irrespective of t...
