Background

What is Big Data?

Big data means a massive volume of both structured and unstructured data that is so large that it's difficult to process using traditional database and software techniques. In most enterprise scenarios the data is too big or it moves too fast or it exceeds current processing capacity. <ref> http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/B/big_data.html </ref> The term may be used to refer the volumes of data, as well as the tools or techniques used to process, manage, analyze the data.
