In the age of the Internet of Things and social media platforms, huge amounts of digital data are generated by and collected from many sources, including sensors, mobile devices, wearable trackers and security cameras. These data, commonly referred to as Big Data, are challenging current storage, processing and analysis capabilities. New models, languages, systems and algorithms continue to be developed to effectively collect, store, analyze and learn from Big Data.

Programming Big Data Applications introduces and discusses models, programming frameworks and algorithms to process and analyze large amounts of data. In particular, the book provides an in-depth description of the properties and mechanisms of the main programming paradigms for Big Data analysis, including MapReduce, workflow, BSP, message passing, and SQL-like. Through programming examples it also describes the most used frameworks for Big Data analysis like Hadoop, Spark, MPI, Hive and Storm. Each of the different systems is discussed and compared, highlighting their main features, their diffusion (both within their community of developers and among users), and their main advantages and disadvantages in implementing Big Data analysis applications.

This book describes and reviews parallel and distributed paradigms, languages, and systems used today to analyze and learn from Big Data on scalable computers. In particular, the book provides a detailed description of the properties and mechanisms of the main parallel programming paradigms, and through programming examples, it illustrates the most widely used frameworks for Big Data analysis. Furthermore, the book discusses and compares the different frameworks by highlighting the main features of each of them, their diffusion (the community of developers and users), and the main advantages and disadvantages of using them to implement Big Data analysis applications. The final goal of this volume is to help designers and developers in programming Big Data applications by identifying and selecting the best or most appropriate programming tool(s) based on their skills, hardware availability, application domains, and purposes, while also considering the support provided by the developer community. Real programming examples are presented for each programming language/framework to show how Big Data applications can be designed and implemented.

Redis is a popular open-source in-memory data store used as a database, cache, message broker, and streaming engine. It allows you to perform different types of atomic operations, such as appending a string, incrementing the value in a hash, inserting an element in a list, calculating the intersection, union and/or difference of sets, and extracting the element with the maximum score from an ordered set. Although Redis works with in-memory datasets to improve performance, depending on the use case, it can persist data by periodically downloading them to disk. Several open-source clients are available for Redis developers, supporting a large set of languages, including Java, Python, PHP, C, C++, C#, jаvascript, Node.js, Ruby, R, and Go.
