Human-Machine Interaction (HCI)
- HCI involves communication between humans and machines through user interfaces.
- Natural interfaces enable devices to understand human gestures.
- Clustering software like Hadoop's YARN pools resources and enhances high availability and scalability.
Hadoop and Its Ecosystem
- Hadoop is an open-source framework for processing large datasets across computer clusters.
- It provides data storage, computational power, and the ability to handle diverse tasks.
- Key characteristics of Hadoop: Economical, Reliable, Scalable, and Flexible.
- The Hadoop ecosystem evolves around data management, access, processing, and storage.
Big Data Life Cycle with Hadoop
- Ingesting: Data transferred from various sources into Hadoop systems.
- Processing: Stored in HDFS and processed via Spark or MapReduce.
- Computing and Analyzing: Data analyzed using frameworks like Pig, Hive, and Impala.
- Visualizing: Results accessed using tools like Hue and Cloudera Search.
Internet of Things (IoT)
- IoT consists of physical objects embedded with electronics, software, and sensors enabling data exchange.
- Features of IoT include AI for smart devices, connectivity for small networks, and sensor implementation for active systems.
- IoT components can be summarized as Services + Data + Networks + Sensors.
Historical Context of IoT
