Big data distributed storage and processing case studies

This research paper sums up the whole concept of big data and its history. It also describes techniques tightly related to this, including how engineers look at the CAP theorem, a theorem that happens to be one of the biggest rules in modern distributed computing. Also, the paper focuses on opensource software from the Apache big data platform. It looks under the hood of the NoSQL database Cassandra, the primary software for this paper, and real use cases of Cassandra and related technologies in real-world examples and describes the creation of certain use cases.
