Study Notes
Definition of Big Data
- Big Data consists of high-volume, high-velocity, and/or high-variety information assets.
- It requires innovative processing methods for improved insights and decision-making.
Example: Netflix’s Transformation
- Transitioned from DVD rentals to data-driven streaming service.
- Used Big Data technologies like recommendation engines and scalable streaming infrastructures.
- Integrated real-time data analytics to optimize content acquisition and marketing strategies.
- Achieved over 200 million subscribers globally by personalizing content.
Characteristics of Big Data (The 4Vs)
- Volume: Refers to the massive data size, reaching petabytes and exabytes; for example, Walmart processes over 1 million transactions hourly.
- Velocity: Indicates rapid data generation; stock market data and Google searches demand real-time processing.
- Variety: Includes various data formats (structured, semi-structured, unstructured) from diverse sources, such as IoT devices and social media.
- Veracity: Focuses on data reliability; essential for accurate analysis, especially in fields like healthcare.
Importance of Big Data
- Driving Business Strategies: Enables data-driven decisions leading to growth and efficiency improvement.
- Cost Savings: Utilizes tools like Hadoop for economical storage and processing of large datasets.
- Time Reductions: High-speed analytics facilitate quick decision-making and identification of new data sources.
Big Data Use Cases
- Healthcare: Utilizes large, diverse datasets for patient diagnosis and treatment via ML models.
- Retail: Analytics of structured and unstructured data supports dynamic pricing and customer personalization.
- Finance: Processes vast datasets to ensure regulatory compliance and enhance real-time fraud detection.
Big Data Technologies
- Data Storage, Data Mining, Data Analytics, Data Visualization are the four main fields.
Data Storage Technologies
- Apache Hadoop:
- Handles large-scale data processing using batch methods.
- Utilizes Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) for managing datasets.
- Real-life application: NextBio enhances genome data analysis efficiency.
- NoSQL Databases:
- Designed for unstructured/semi-structured data storage.
- MongoDB: A document-oriented database for JSON-like data, created in 2009.
- Cassandra: Manages large data volumes across servers, providing high availability. Developed for Facebook.
Data Mining Technologies
- RapidMiner:
- Provides a graphical user interface for predictive analytics management.
- Developed in 2001, it supports diverse analytical processes.
- ElasticSearch:
- Open-source, real-time distributed search engine for structured/unstructured data.
- Widely used by organizations for enterprise search solutions.
Data Analytics Technology
- Apache Spark:
- Known for in-memory computing, enhancing processing speed for large datasets.
- Offers real-time streaming, batch processing, and a wide range of application support.
Data Visualization
- Tableau: A prominent tool for creating visual representations of data, aiding in analysis and decision-making.
