Spring Data, By Mark Pollack, Oliver Gierke, Thomas Risberg, Jon Brisbin, Michael Hunger You can choose several data access frameworks when building Java enterprise applications that work with relational databases. But what about big data? This hands-on introduction shows you how Spring Data makes it relatively easy to build applications across a wide range of new data access technologies such as NoSQL and Hadoop.

Through several sample projects, you’ll learn how Spring Data provides a consistent programming model that retains NoSQL-specific features and capabilities, and helps you develop Hadoop applications across a wide range of use-cases such as data analysis, event stream processing, and workflow. You’ll also discover the features Spring Data adds to Spring’s existing JPA and JDBC support for writing RDBMS-based data access layers.

- Learn about Spring’s template helper classes to simplify the use ofdatabase-specific functionality

- Discover the GemFire distributed data grid solution
- Export Spring Data JPA-managed entities to the Web as RESTful web services
- Simplify the development of HBase applications, using a lightweight object-mapping framework
- Build example big-data pipelines with Spring Batch and Spring Integration
