Big Data Hadoop Training FAQs

• What is Big data?

  Big data refers to a collection of extensive data sets, including structured, unstructured, and semi-structured data coming from various data sources and having different formats.These data sets are so complex and broad that they can't be processed using traditional techniques. When you combine big data with analytics, you can use it to solve business problems and make better decisions. 

• What is Hadoop?

  Hadoop is an open-source framework that allows organizations to store and process big data in a parallel and distributed environment. It is used to store and combine data, and it scales up from one server to thousands of machines, each offering low-cost storage and local computation.

• What is Spark?

  Spark is an open-source framework that provides several interconnected platforms, systems, and standards for big data projects. Spark is considered by many to be a more advanced product than Hadoop.

• What is the Big Data concept?

  There are basically three concepts associated with Big Data - Volume, Variety, and Velocity. The volume refers to the amount of data we generate which is over 2.5 quintillion bytes per day, much larger than what we generated a decade ago. Velocity refers to the speed with which we receive data, be it real-time or in batches. Variety refers to the different formats of data like images, text, or videos.
