There is so much happening in the world of Big Data that it is not even funny any more. In this calendar year alone, companies would have spent US$ 4.5 billion on big data.
Sadly I find that most IT practitioners and leaders know the term but have to reach for Wikipedia to know what it means. So where do you start. One good anchor point would be with a basic understanding of what is Big Data and how does it get stored and retrieved to and from a distributed file system like Hadoop.
I was mulling whether to write a post on Hadoop Architecture and how to query big data or simply stick to a graphical explanation. For a change I decided to stick to the latter and will probably supplement the graphic with a little more explanation in my next post.
