MAIN OBJECTIVE OF THE ASSESSMENT

In this assessment, you are required to demonstrate the appropriate practical skills and abilities to implement solutions using modern large-scale data storage and processing infrastructures, and to critically reflect on the concepts, theory and use of high-performance computational infrastructures.

DESCRIPTION OF THE ASSESSMENT

You are required to identify and analyse a real-world problem, design and implement a solution to the problem using Hadoop, and evaluate your implementation. The problem can be a simplified version from its original scale, extent or level of difficulties etc.

LEARNING OUTCOMES AND MARKING CRITERIA

LO1: Demonstrate the appropriate practical skills/abilities required to implement solutions using modern large-scale data storage and processing infrastructures.

LO2: Reflect critically on the concepts, theory and appropriate use of large-scale data storage and processing infrastructures (commonly used in modern organisational environments).
