Task:e

Part A (20%)

There is a common misconception that NosQL databases cannot store relationships. However, this is not entirely true. NosQL databases store relationships, but they do so differently from SQL databases. In fact, many people find it easier to model relationship data in NosQL because related data doesn’t have to be split between tables, unlike SQL databases. Answer the following questions:

1. Create a NosQL database based on PSB Academy’s organizational/administrative operations:

Include at least FIVE (5) collections in one database.
Create a relationship for the collections.

Part B (80%)

1. Hadoop is a popular framework for processing large volumes of data. It is widely used in the industry due to its ease of use. Hadoop offers simple and effective tools to deal with complex Big Data, making it a preferred choice for many users. Now, answer the following questions.

i. Choose FIVE (5) tools in Hadoop.
ii. Explain their main functions and what are their usage (answer with diagrams).
Iii. Explain how they can be integrated into the Big Data frameworks.
iv. Explain how these tools can make Big Data easier for computing applications (discuss the necessary user and system interface)..
v. Explain with a historical review who the developers of the tool are.

1. Social media analytics is the process of collecting and analyzing data from social networks to understand trends and patterns. Now, answer the following questions.

i. Find FIVE (5) tools that could be used to perform social media analytics.
ii. Explain their main functions and what are their usage (answer with diagrams).
Iii. Explain how they can help the selected industry to make more commercial profit.
iv. Explain how these tools can make Big Data easier for computing applications (discuss the necessary user and system interface)..
v. Explain with a historical review who the developers of the tool are.

Guidance notes and considerations

Late Submission

If you are not able to complete your coursework on time due to extenuating circumstances, the ONLY way to receive an extension (up to 5 working days) or a deferral (anything longer than 5 working days) is to contact your module lecturer or Email to CU_IT@psb
academy.edu.sg
Extenuating circumstances are defined by CU as ‘genuine circumstances beyond your contro! or ability to foresee, and which seriously impair your assessed work’.
Please note that you must provide third-party evidence to support your reasoning for requiring an extension or deferral.

Plagiarism and Malpractice

You are encouraged to check the originality of your work by using the draft Turnitin links on your Blackboard.
Collusion between students (where sections of your work are similar to the work submitted by other students in this or previous module cohorts) is taken extremely seriously and will be reported to the academic conduct panel. This applies to all coursework and exam answers. A marked difference between your writing style, knowledge and skill level demonstrated in class discussion, any test conditions and that demonstrated in a coursework assignment may result in you having to undertake a Viva Voce in order to prove the coursework assignment is entirely your own work.
If you make use of the services of a proofreader in your work you must keep your original version and make it available as a demonstration of your written efforts.
You must not submit work for assessment that you have already submitted (partially or in full), either for your current course or for another qualification of this university, unless this is specifically provided for in your assignment brief or specific course or module information. Where earlier work by you is citable, i.e., it has already been published/submitted, you must reference it clearly. Identical pieces of work submitted concurrently will also be considered to be self-plagiarism.
