Welcome to the overview of big data technologies. In this section, we will explore the key concepts, tools, and applications of big data technologies.
Key Concepts
- Big Data: Refers to large and complex data sets that cannot be easily managed using traditional data processing applications.
- Data Analytics: The process of analyzing data to extract meaningful insights and support decision-making.
- Data Visualization: The representation of data in a visual format to make it easier to understand and interpret.
Tools and Technologies
- Hadoop: An open-source framework for distributed storage and processing of large data sets.
- Spark: An open-source, distributed computing system that provides fast and general-purpose data processing.
- NoSQL Databases: Non-relational databases that are designed to store and manage large volumes of structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data.
