Day 50: Advanced Analytics with NoSQL

Introduction:

• Advanced analytics involves processing and analyzing large datasets to uncover patterns, trends, and insights. NoSQL databases offer the flexibility and scalability needed to handle big data analytics, making them ideal for applications like real-time monitoring, predictive analytics, and machine learning.

Key Concepts:

• Big Data: Large and complex datasets that require advanced analytics techniques to process and analyze.

• Real-Time Analytics: Processing and analyzing data as it is created or received to generate immediate insights.

• Predictive Analytics: Using historical data and statistical algorithms to predict future outcomes.

• Machine Learning: Building models that learn from data and make predictions or decisions.

NoSQL Databases for Advanced Analytics:

1. MongoDB:

   • MongoDB's aggregation framework provides powerful tools for data analysis and transformation.

json

// Example of an aggregation pipeline in MongoDB to calculate average temperature
db.sensor_data.aggregate([
    { $match: { sensorID: "sensor_1" } },
    { $group: { _id: null, avgTemperature: { $avg: "$temperature" } } }
]);

2. Cassandra:

   • Cassandra's integration with Apache Spark allows for distributed data processing and analytics.

scala

// Example of using Spark with Cassandra for data analytics
import com.datastax.spark.connector._
val sensorData = sc.cassandraTable("mykeyspace", "sensor_data")
val avgTemperature = sensorData.select("temperature").map(row => row.getFloat("temperature")).mean()
println(s"Average Temperature: $avgTemperature")

3. Redis:

   • RedisTimeSeries module provides advanced time series capabilities for real-time analytics.

redis

// Example of creating a time series and querying data in RedisTimeSeries
TS.CREATE temperature:room1
TS.ADD temperature:room1 1617273600 22.5
TS.ADD temperature:room1 1617277200 23.0
TS.RANGE temperature:room1 1617273600 1617277200

4. Elasticsearch:

   • Elasticsearch's full-text search and powerful analytics capabilities make it ideal for log analysis and real-time monitoring.

json

// Example of an Elasticsearch query to calculate average response time
{
    "size": 0,
    "aggs": {
        "avg_response_time": {
            "avg": {
                "field": "response_time"
            }
        }
    }
}

Practice Exercise:

1. MongoDB: Write an aggregation pipeline to calculate the total number of temperature readings for a specific sensor.

2. Cassandra: Write a Spark job to calculate the maximum temperature recorded by any sensor.

3. Redis: Write commands to create a time series and query the maximum value in a specific range.

4. Elasticsearch: Write a query to calculate the sum of a field for documents matching a specific condition.

json

// MongoDB aggregation pipeline to calculate the total number of temperature readings for a specific sensor
db.sensor_data.aggregate([
    { $match: { sensorID: "sensor_2" } },
    { $group: { _id: null, totalReadings: { $sum: 1 } } }
]);

scala

// Spark job to calculate the maximum temperature recorded by any sensor in Cassandra
import com.datastax.spark.connector._
val sensorData = sc.cassandraTable("mykeyspace", "sensor_data")
val maxTemperature = sensorData.select("temperature").map(row => row.getFloat("temperature")).max()
println(s"Maximum Temperature: $maxTemperature")

redis

// Redis commands to create a time series and query the maximum value in a specific range
TS.CREATE temperature:room2
TS.ADD temperature:room2 1617273600 24.5
TS.ADD temperature:room2 1617277200 25.0
TS.MAX temperature:room2 1617273600 1617277200

json

// Elasticsearch query to calculate the sum of a field for documents matching a specific condition
{
    "query": {
        "term": { "sensorID": "sensor_2" }
    },
    "aggs": {
        "total_temperature": {
            "sum": {
                "field": "temperature"
            }
        }
    }
}
