Big data – a brief overview

Big Data – A Brief Overview Petabytes, Hadoop, Analytics, Collaborative business intelligence,Data scientists, In-Memory Databases, NoSQL platforms

Big Data• What is it?• Where does it come from?• How do we process it?• What do we do with it?• Who are the players?• What are the opportunities?

What Is Big Data?Like the term Cloud, it is a bit Nebulous

Attributes of Big Data• Volume• Velocity - streaming• Variety

Where Does It Come From? It Depends

Key DriversSpread of cloud computing, mobile computing and social mediatechnologies, financial transactions

Sources of Big Data• Chatter from social networks,• Web server logs,• Traffic flow sensors,• Satellite imagery,• Broadcast audio streams,• Banking transactions,• MP3s of rock music,• The content of web pages,• Scans of government documents,• GPS trails,• Telemetry from automobiles,• Financial market data• ….

How Do We Process It?

Process PipelineSource: http://radar.oreilly.com

HadoopA distributed processing Framework based on Map/Reduce

PigA platform for analyzing large data sets that consists of a high-level language forexpressing data analysis programs, coupled with infrastructure for evaluating these programs.

MahoutA machine learning library with algorithms for clustering, classification and batch based collaborative filtering that are implemented on top of Apache Hadoop.

HiveData warehouse software built on top ofApache Hadoop that facilitates queryingand managing large datasets residing in distributed storage.

PegasusA Peta-scale graph mining system that runs in parallel, distributed manner on top of Hadoop

SqoopA tool designed for efficiently transferring bulk data between Apache Hadoop andstructured data stores such as relational databases.

Flume A distributed service forcollecting, aggregating, and moving large log data amounts to HDFS.

Yahoo S4 S4 is a general-purpose, distributed, scalable,partially fault-tolerant, pluggable platform that allows programmers to easily develop applications for processing continuous unbounded streams of data.

Twitter StormStorm can be used to process astream of new data and update databases in real time.
