6. Big data – defined as too much
volume, velocity and variety to
work on normal database
architectures.
Size
Defined as 5 petabytes or more
1 petabyte = 1,000 terabytes
1,000 terabytes = 1,000,000 gigabytes
1,000,000 gigabytes = 1,000,000,000 megabytes

HiveQL
Apache Hive - a data warehouse infrastructure built on top
of Hadoop for providing data summarization, query, and analysis.
Hive provides a mechanism to query the data using a SQL-like language
called HiveQL that interacts with the HDFS files
• create
• insert
• update
• delete
• select

15. What is NoSQL?
A term used to describe high-performance, non-relational databases that provide a mechanism for
storage and retrieval of data that is modeled in means other than the tabular relations used in
relational databases
NoSQL Database Types
Document databases pair each key with a complex data structure known as a document.
Documents can contain many different key-value pairs, or key-array pairs, or even nested documents.
Graph stores are used to store information about networks of data, such as social connections.
Graph stores include Neo4J and Giraph.
Key-value stores are the simplest NoSQL databases. Every single item in the database is stored as
an attribute name (or 'key'), together with its value. Examples of key-value stores are Riak and
Berkeley DB. Some key-value stores, such as Redis, allow each value to have a type, such as 'integer',
which adds functionality.
Wide-column stores such as Cassandra and HBase are optimized for queries over large datasets,
and store columns of data together, instead of rows.

USE CASE 1***
Use Hadoop as a landing zone for big data & raw data
1) bring all raw, big data into Hadoop
2) perform some pre-processing of this data
3) determine which data goes to Data Warehouse
4) Extract, transform and load (ETL) pertinent data into Data Warehouse

Multi-Project Support
Multiple projects can now be created in a single QuerySurge instance. This allows for multiple groups to
work on the same QuerySurge server without seeing each other’s assets (project-level security).
Features supported in Multi-Projects are:
• Global Admin User: This new user type administers the QuerySurge instance
across multiple projects.
• Assign Users to Projects: Users can be assigned to one or more projects. In
each assignment, a user can have a different project role (administrator,
standard user or participant user).
• Assign Agents to Projects: Agents can be shared across projects or dedicated
to specific projects.
• Project Import: Import project data into another project on the same instance
or into a different environment (Dev/QA/Prod).
• Project Export: Export entire projects and store for backup purposes.
• Activity Log Reports: Two reports that track specific changes for auditing
purposes, including manipulations to users or connections.
