Distributed Systems - Session #1

Key Notes
  • Storage, Big Data, File Sharing
  • The infrastructure that requires more than one computer
  • High Performance, Parallelism
  • Fault Tolerance - Two computer does the same things. One Fails another picks up. Availability / Recoverability, Replication
  • Systems are inherently physically distributed
  • To achieve security goals
  • Handle unexpected failure patterns (Partial Failures)
  • Challenges are Concurrency, Partial Failures
  • Academic Curiosity -> Real-world Examples
  • Lectures, Research papers for ideas, implementation details, labs, exams
  • Map Reduce - Map Function on each of the input files, Obvious Parallelism available. The output is a list of Key-Value Pairs. Maps -> Intermediate Output -> Reducers. Collects all instances, all maps. 

Happy Learning!!!
