Big Data Processing
The past decade has seen an explosion of “data-intensive” or “data-centric” applications where the analysis of large volumes of heterogeneous data is the basis of solving problems.

That prediction has certainly proved to be correct, and a large proportion of the systems in use today are either distributed or parallel— commonly referred to as scale-out systems. When we were putting together the first edition, undergraduate and graduate database courses were not as prevalent as they are now; so the initial version of the book contained lengthy discussions of centralized solutions before introducing their distributed/parallel counterparts. Times have certainly changed on that front as well, and now, it is hard to find a graduate student who does not have at least some rudimentary k
