    Study Notes

    Big Data

    • Data is crucial for decision-making across all business aspects
    • 2025 global data generation estimate: 175 zettabytes (ZB)
    • 2010 global data generation: 2 ZB
    • Daily global internet data generation: ~2.5 million GB
    • Recent 2 years account for 90% of data generated

    Five Vs of Big Data

    • Velocity: Batch, near real-time, real-time, streaming data
    • Variety: Structured, unstructured, semi-structured data
    • Volume: Terabytes, records, transactions
    • Veracity: Trustworthiness, authenticity, origin, reputation
    • Value: Statistical, events, correlations, hypothetical scenarios

    Data Sources

    • Facebook: 500,000 tweets per minute
    • Twitter: 500,000 tweets per minute
    • Instagram: 347,222 posts per minute
    • IoT: 75 million connected devices generating data

    Data Storage

    • Less than 20% of global data stored in Relational Databases
    • 80% of data is unstructured (text, images, video)
    • Unstructured data is stored in Big Data Architectures, cloud, and NoSQL databases

    Big Data Storage (HDFS)

    • Handles large volumes of data across multiple servers
    • Divides data into small blocks (typically 128 MB or 256 MB)
    • Distributes blocks across various nodes (servers)
    • Provides high data redundancy for fault tolerance (data copies)
    • Ideal for large amounts of unstructured or semi-structured data

    Data Lakes

    • Centralized repository for all data types (structured, semi-structured, unstructured)
    • Stores data as raw data without transformation
    • Useful for long-term analysis or when analysis type isn't known beforehand
    • Ideal for large volumes of diverse, raw data

    NoSQL Databases

    • Used for storing unstructured data.
    • Flexibility, speed, and good for unstructured data

    Relational Databases (SQL)

    • Structured, consistent, integrity-driven data stores
