Study Notes
Big Data: The 6 Vs
- Volume: Enormous data amounts (terabytes to exabytes) from diverse sources (transactions, social media, sensors). Examples include Google and Facebook's exabyte-scale data.
- Velocity: High-speed data flow from various sources (real-time streaming, IoT devices, social media). Stock exchanges processing millions of transactions daily illustrate this.
- Variety: Data exists in structured (databases), semi-structured (JSON), and unstructured (audio, video, text) formats. This diversity complicates processing.
- Veracity: Data quality and accuracy are crucial, but ensuring reliability across vast, diverse sources is challenging. Inaccurate data leads to poor decisions.
- Variability: Inconsistent data flow rates with periodic peaks (e.g., rapidly changing social media sentiment) make management and analysis difficult.
- Value: Extracting meaningful insights from data, not just collecting it, is key for strategic business improvements and better decision-making.
Big Data Technologies: Hadoop
- Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS): Stores data across multiple machines for high-throughput access.
- MapReduce: A parallel processing model for large datasets across a Hadoop cluster.
- YARN (Yet Another Resource Negotiator): Manages resources allowing multiple applications to share a cluster.
- Hadoop Common: Provides libraries and utilities for other Hadoop modules. Hadoop runs on commodity hardware for cost-effectiveness and scalability.
- Ecosystem: Includes tools like Hive (data warehousing), Pig (data processing), and HBase (real-time data access). Example: Retail companies using Hadoop to analyze customer purchase patterns.
Databases for Big Data: NoSQL
- Well-suited for semi-structured and unstructured data (logs, JSON, multimedia).
- Provide scalability and flexibility for high traffic and changing data models.
- Examples: Netflix (handling large data volumes), Uber (managing ride-sharing data), Airbnb (managing booking data).
Databases for Big Data: NewSQL
- Aim to combine NoSQL scalability with the ACID properties of traditional SQL databases.
- Handle high transaction rates and support SQL-like querying.
- Examples: Google Spanner (globally distributed, strong consistency), CockroachDB (distributed, high availability, strong consistency).
- Suitable for applications needing high performance and reliability with familiar SQL.
Graph Databases: Neo4j
- Represent data in graph structures (nodes, edges, properties).
- Ideal for applications where relationships are crucial (social networks, recommendation systems).
- Key features: Flexible schema, Cypher query language, ACID compliance.
- Effective for applications like recommendation systems and fraud detection. Supports graph algorithms (PageRank, community detection).
- Cypher simplifies querying complex relationships.
