Abstract
Big data is revolutionizing world in the age of Internet. The wide variety of areas like online businesses, electronic health management, social networking, demographics, geographic information systems, online education etc. are gaining insight from big data principles. Big data is comprised of heterogeneous datasets which are too large to be handled by traditional relational database systems. An important reason for explosion of interest in big data is that it has become cheap to store volumes of data and there is a major rise in computation capacity. This article aims at giving an overview of Big Data Ecosystem comprising various big data platforms useful in today's competitive world.

Significance of In-Memory Computing for Real-Time Big Data Analytics
Transactions are Basic business operations such as customer orders, purchase orders, receipts, time cards, invoices, and payroll checks in an organization. Transaction processing systems (TPS) perform routine operations and serve as a foundation for other systems. Online transaction processing (OLTP) is a computerized processing system whereby each transaction is processed immediately, without the delay of accumulating transactions into a batch and the affected records are updated accordingly. The OLTP: 1) Holds Current Data; 2) Store Detail of data; 3) Dynamically change data by operation such as Insert, Update and Delete for repetitive processing and high level of transaction; and 4) Support day to day decision making. The earliest OLAP systems used multidimensional arrays in memory to store data cubes and are known as multidimensional OLAP (MOLAP) systems. OLAP implementations using only relational database features are called relational OLAP (ROLAP) systems. Hybrid systems, which store some summaries in memory and store the base data and other summaries in a relational database, are called hybrid OLAP (HOLAP) systems.
