Questions and Answers

What does the term 'velocity' refer to in the context of big data?

  • The speed at which data is entered into the system and processed (correct)
  • The variations in the structure of data to be stored
  • The trustworthiness of the data
  • The quantity of data to be stored

    • How does 'scaling out' differ from 'scaling up' when managing big data?

  • Scaling out involves keeping the same number of systems, while scaling up involves exceeding the server capacity.
  • Scaling out involves migrating each system to a larger one, while scaling up involves spreading the workload across multiple servers.
