    Study Notes

    Virtualization and Big Data

    • Virtualization: a technology that enables multiple virtual machines (VMs) to run on a single physical machine, maximizing resource utilization and scalability.
    • Benefits in Big Data:
      • Enables multiple big data nodes to run on a single physical machine, improving resource utilization and reducing hardware costs.
      • Allows for easy scalability and deployment of big data clusters.

    Cloud and Big Data

    • Cloud Computing: a model for delivering computing services over the internet, providing on-demand access to a shared pool of resources.
    • Benefits in Big Data:
      • Enables scalable and on-demand access to computing resources, ideal for big data processing and analytics.
      • Reduces costs associated with hardware, maintenance, and personnel.
      • Supports collaboration and data sharing across organizations and locations.

    Big Data Technology Components

    Data Ingestion

    • Data Ingestion: the process of collecting and transporting data from various sources to a centralized location for processing and analysis.
    • Components:
      • Data Ingestion Tools: Flume, Sqoop, Kafka, and NiFi.
      • Data Transport: batch or real-time data transport from sources to targets.

    Data Storage

    • Distributed File Systems: store and manage large amounts of data across a cluster of machines.
    • Components:
      • HDFS (Hadoop Distributed File System): a widely used distributed file system for big data storage.
      • NoSQL Databases: handle large amounts of unstructured or semi-structured data.

    Data Processing

    • Data Processing: the process of transforming and analyzing data to extract insights and knowledge.
    • Components:
      • MapReduce: a programming model for processing large datasets in parallel across a cluster of nodes.
      • Spark: an in-memory processing engine for large-scale data processing.

    Data Analytics

    • Data Analytics: the process of extracting insights and knowledge from processed data.
    • Components:
      • Data Warehousing: a centralized repository for storing and managing data for analytics.
      • Business Intelligence Tools: provide data visualization, reporting, and analytics capabilities.
