The course "Distributed Query Optimization and Security" provides a comprehensive exploration of query optimization and data security in distributed databases. Students will gain in-depth knowledge of how to secure data access through views and dynamic authorization techniques, essential for maintaining the integrity and confidentiality of distributed systems. Learners will also master distributed query processing, understanding how to evaluate, optimize, and implement efficient query plans. The course uniquely blends advanced database security techniques with practical applications of large-scale data systems, such as Hadoop, MapReduce, and HDFS.
By completing this course, learners will be equipped with the skills to optimize complex queries, enhance database security, and handle large datasets effectively. With hands-on experience in MapReduce and HDFS, learners will develop the ability to create scalable, optimized, and secure distributed database systems. This course is ideal for professionals seeking to advance their expertise in database management and distributed systems, with a focus on both performance optimization and data protection.
This course delves into advanced topics in query processing and data security within distributed databases. Students will learn about semantic data control, including the use of views and authorization techniques, to secure data access. The course also covers distributed query processing, and optimization methods. By understanding these techniques, learners will develop skills to create optimized, secure distributed databases capable of handling complex data queries. This module also introduces another paradigm of large-scale data systems supported by Hadoop, MapReduce and HDFS.

This module delves into distributed query optimization techniques, introducing key methodologies to improve performance in distributed systems using cost models and heuristics for near-optimal query plans. Learners will gain practical skills in query optimization, leveraging the semi-join algorithm. Learners will also gain experience in another popular large-scale data approach embodied in MapReduce supported by the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) to efficiently process large datasets. Through hands-on exercises, students will practice writing HDFS code for data storage and manipulation, focusing on data compression and decompression, and employ advanced MapReduce patterns for optimal data processing..

Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
If you subscribed, you get a 7-day free trial during which you can cancel at no penalty. After that, we don’t give refunds, but you can cancel your subscription at any time. See our full refund policy.
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
