One way to be bigger than one technology is to use Hadoop when dealing with big data.

A Hadoop distributed file system, or HDFS, stores data for many different locations, creating a centralized place to store and process the data.

Big Data

A collection of data sources inside and outside your company that represents a source for ongoing discovery and analysis

Semi structured data

A combination of the two. It is similar to structured data, where it may have an organized structure, but lacks a strictly-defined model.

fact

A node is simply a computer.

Fact

According to McKinsey in 2013, the emergence of cloud computing has highly contributed to the launch of the Big Data era.

visualization

An example of visualizing big data is in displaying temperature on a map by region. By using the massive amounts of data collected by sensors and satellites in space, viewers can get a quick and easy summary of where it's going to be hot or cold.

fact

Big Data is best thought of as a platform rather than a specific set of software.

fact

Big Data skills include discovering and analyzing trends that occur in big data

Big data exploration

Big data exploration addresses the challenge faced by every large organization. Business information is spread across multiple systems and silos, big data exploration enables you to explore, and mine big data to find, visualize and understand all your data, to improve decision making.

governance

Big data governance requires three things: automated integration, that is, easy access to the data wherever it resides visual content, that is, easy categorization, indexing, and discovery within big data to optimize its usage, agile governance is the definition and execution of governance appropriate to the value of the data and its intended use.

Fact

By 2020, about 1.7 megabytes of new information will be created every second for every human being in the world. By 2020, the data we create and copy will reach around 35 zettabytes, up from only 7.9 zettabytes today.

fact

By processing and analyzing new data types, such as social media, emails, and analyzing hours and hours of video footage. Analyzing data in motion, and at rest, can help find new associations, or uncover patterns and facts to significantly improve intelligence, security, and law enforcement.

In Module 2: What has highly contributed to the launch of the Big Data era?

Cloud Computing

Cloud computing

Cloud computing allows users to access highly scalable computing and storage resources through the internet. By using cloud computing, companies can use server capacity as needed and expand it rapidly to the large scale required to process big data sets and run complicated mathematical models. Cloud computing lowers the price to analyze big data as the resources are shared across many users, who pay only for the capacity they actually utilize.

What is Hadoop written in?

Hadoop is a framework written in Java, originally developed by Doug Cutting who named it after his son's toy elephant. Hadoop uses Google's MapReduce technology as its foundation.

So what is the Hadoop framework?

Hadoop is an open-source software framework used to store and process huge amounts of data. It is implemented in several distinct, specialized modules: Storage, principally employing the Hadoop File System, or HDFS, Resource management and scheduling for computational tasks, Distributed processing programming models based on MapReduce, Common utilities and software libraries necessary for the entire Hadoop platform.

Some of the applications used in big data are

Hadoop, Oozie, Flume, Hive, HBase, Apache Pig, Apache Spark, MapReduce and YARN, Sqoop, ZooKeeper, and text analytics.

One trend making the Big Data revolution possible is the development of new software tools and database systems such as

Hadoop, HBase, and NoSQL for large, un-structured data sets.

Structured data refers to any data that resides in a fixed field within a record or file.

It has the advantage of being easily entered, stored, queried, and analyzed. In today's business setting, most Big Data generated by organizations is structured and stored in data warehouses. Highly structured business-generated data is considered a valuable source of information and thus equally important as machine and people-generated data.

What is an example of a source of Semi-Structured Big data?

JSON Files

analysis

Let's look at a Walmart example. Walmart utilizes a search engine called Polaris, which helps shoppers search for products they wish to buy. It takes into account how a user is behaving on the website in order to surface the best results for them. Polaris will bring up items that are based on a user's interests and, because many consumers visit Walmart's website, large amounts of data are collected, making the analysis on that big data very important.

fact

MapReduce, the programming paradigm that allows for this massive scalability, is the heart of Hadoop.

Facts

More data has been created in the past two years than in the entire history of humankind.

Module 5: What is the term referring to a database that must be processed by means other than just the SQL Query Language.

NoSQL

Module 5: In the Hadoop framework, a rack is a collection of ____________?

Nodes

How big is a zettabyte?

One bit is binary. It's either a one or a zero. Eight bits make up one byte, and 1024 bytes make up one kilobyte. 1024 kilobytes make up one megabyte. Large videos and DVDs will be in gigabytes where 1024 megabytes make up one gigabyte of storage space.

These days we have USBs or memory sticks that can store a few dozen gigabytes of information where computers and hard drives now store terabytes of information.

One terabyte is 1025 gigabytes. 1024 terabytes make up one petabyte, and 1024 petabytes make up an exabyte.

What does 'OLAP' stand for?

Online Analytical Processing

Three major sources of Big Data.

People-generated data machine-generated data business-generated data which is the data that organizations generate within their own operations.

What is the search engine used by Walmart?

Polaris

Given a set of data, there are three key types to Data Warehouse Modernization's.

The Hadoop Cluster is

a collection of racks.

IBM analytics defines Hadoop as follows, Apache Hadoop is

a highly scalable storage platform designed to process very large data sets across hundreds to thousands of computing nodes that operate in parallel. It provides a cost effective storage solution for large data volumes with no format requirements.

What can help organizations to find new associations or uncover patterns and facts to significantly improve intelligence, security and law enforcement?

analyzing data in motion and at rest

Operations analysis focuses on

analyzing machine data, which can include anything from signals, sensors, and logs, to data from GPS devices. Using big data for operations analysis, organizations can gain real-time visibility into operations, customer experience, transactions, and behavior. Big data empowers businesses to predict when a machine will stop working, when machine components need to be replaced, and even when employees will resign.

The smartest Hadoop strategies start with

choosing recommended distributions, then maturing the environment with modernized hybrid architectures, and adopting a data lake strategy based on Hadoop technology.
