Six Frequently used Terminologies in Big Data
With the deluge of Data getting added to the system, it is getting difficult to collect, curate and process information. Growing middle class population , widespread penetration of mobility and technology adoption, are contributing towards exponential rise in the quantum of data. It is commonly termed as Big Data problem. In this blog, i have listed out and defined six frequently used terminologies on big data. 1.) Big Data: Uri Fredman , in his article at FP , had charted the timeline of Big Data evolution. In 1997, NASA researchers Michael Cox and David Ellsworth use the term "big data" for the first time to describe a familiar challenge in the 1990s: supercomputers generating massive amounts of information -- in Cox and Ellsworth's case, simulations of airflow around aircraft -- that cannot be processed and visualized. "[D]ata sets are generally quite large, taxing the capacities of main memory, local disk, and even remote disk," they write . &q
