Study Notes
Data Collection and Management
- Data sources include web browsers, smartphones, search engines, the internet, banking, and games.
- Data is collected by government agencies, pharmaceutical companies, consumer product companies, large retailers (big box stores), and credit card companies.
- Big Data infrastructure involves collection, ingestion, preparation, computation, and presentation.
- Data sources are both structured (databases, APIs, flat files, cloud storage, data warehouses, spreadsheets) and unstructured.
Data Capturing
- Data capturing involves collecting and inputting data from various sources for analysis or storage.
- Methods include manual data entry, automated collection using sensors, IoT devices, APIs, surveys, forms, point-of-sale systems, and mobile data capture.
- Accurate, private, secure, and integrated data capture is critical for building reliable datasets.
Data Processing
- Data processing steps include collection, cleaning, transformation, storage, and analysis.
Data Presentation
- Data presentation displays data clearly and engagingly to highlight insights.
- Key aspects are visualization, clarity, context, interactivity, and storytelling.
Data Warehousing
- Data warehouses: Incoming data is cleaned and organized into a consistent schema for direct analysis.
- Data lakes: Raw data is stored in its original format, enabling selection and organization as needed.
Data Infrastructure Models
- On-premise: Users manage all components (networking, storage, servers, virtualization, operating system, middleware, runtime, data, and applications). Example: private data center.
- SaaS (Software as a Service): Vendors handle everything; users access applications via the internet. Example: Gmail, Microsoft Office 365.
Big Data Architecture
- Serverless: Cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP) manage resources instead of dedicated servers.
Data Treatment (Data Lake Approach 1)
- Data sources: streaming, file, relational.
- Data lake zones:
- Transient: Ingest, tag, and catalog data.
- Raw: Apply metadata, protect sensitive data.
- Trusted: Data quality and validation.
- Refined: Enrich data and automate workflows.
- Consumer systems: data catalog, data preparation tools, visualization, external connectors.
Data Treatment (Data Lake Approach 2)
- Data sources: OLTP/ODS, enterprise data warehouse, logs, cloud services, streaming, file data.
- Steps:
- Transient loading zone: Ingest data from sources without transformation.
- Raw data zone: Store unaltered data and tokenize information.
- Refined data zone: Integrate data into a consistent format.
- Trusted data zone: High-quality validated data.
- Discovery sandbox: Exploratory analysis and experimentation.
- Consumers: business analysts, data scientists.
- Foundation layers: metadata, data quality, catalog, security.
Data Technologies
- Data collection from apps, IoT devices.
- Ingestion (third-party tools, MQTT).
- Preparation and computation in the data lake, sending results to the data warehouse.
- Data presentation.
