Course Overview
What is NoSQL?
Over the past few years, the dominance of relational database is getting down. This is due to the arising of a new type of database known as NoSQL training database. NoSQL means Not Only SQL. It is a new way of thinking about a database. NoSQL is a non-relational database management systems which are quite different from traditional database management systems. It is a large distributed database system that helps in analysis of high volume and disparate data types. NoSQL training databases are sometimes referred to as cloud databases. NoSQL training has become the first alternative to relational databases because of its features like scalability, availability and fault tolerance. NoSQL has a flexible schema model.
NoSQL training handles any type of unstructured, messy and unpredictable data. NoSQL does not require SQL to analyze the data.
Why NoSQL?
Listed here are the reasons why NoSQL training is needed in today’s world
- NoSQL training helps to manage a large amount of data and it can easily handle data even in perabytes
- Most of the NoSQL does not use schema and is more flexible
- NoSQL training helps the developers to develop without the need for converting in-memory structures into relational structures.
- NoSQL databases run efficiently on clusters whereas relational databases do not
- NoSQL provides simple API’s and do not need complex frameworks
- NoSQL offers easy replication of the data and the failure of one node does not affect the workflow in any way
- NoSQL databases do not require a high-performance server
- NoSQL helps to get low latency level
Implementing a NoSQL database at your organization
Most of the organizations often begin with a small trial of a NoSQL database to help them understand the technology. NoSQL databases are the most open source which means that it can be downloaded and implemented at a very minimal cost. Selecting the right database for your business will help to improve your business to a greater extent.

Section 3: Introduction to NoSQL – Cassandra Developer
Agenda – Cassandra
Cassandra is an open source, distributed storage system which is used for managing huge amount of structured data across many commodity servers. The important points are it is a scalable, consistent and column-oriented database. This section contains a brief introduction of Cassandra, history of Cassandra and the features of Cassandra like Scalability, Flexibility, easy data distribution, architecture and others
Architecture
The main objective of Cassandra is to handle huge data across multiple nodes and without any failure. This has a peer to peer distributed system and the data gets distributed among the nodes in cluster. The architecture of the Cassandra is explained in detail with the help of a diagram. This section also briefs about the components of Cassandra and Cassandra query language for write operations and read operations.
Section 4: Data Model
Introduction to NoSQL Data Model
The data model of NoSQL is different from other RDBMS. Selecting the right NoSQL data model is an important part of using Cassandra in NoSQL. This chapter provides an overview of how Cassandra store its data and the goals of NoSQL data model. It explains the meaning for the terms like nodes and clusters. The other topics included in this section are
- What is Keyspace
- Attributes of Keyspace

Great stuff on NoSQL. The explanations are very clear. The NoSQL course is more in depth and covered all the basic topics of NoSQL. The NoSQL course contains topics which seems more challenging to learn at the first glance but the content and the flow made the concepts easy to understand. One cannot go for a better introduction course about NoSQL than this course. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone.
