Abstract

Earlier, the transactional and operational data were maintained in tables and stored in relational databases. They have formal structures and schemas. However, the recent production and flow of multi-structured data has inspired many to ponder about the new ways and means of capturing, collecting, and stocking. E-mails, PDF files, social blogs, musings, tweets, still photographs, videos, office documents, phone call records, sensor readings, medical electronics, smart grids, avionics data, real-time chats, and other varieties of data play a greater role in presenting highly accurate and actionable, timely insights for executives and decision-makers. The chapter provides an insight into the big data phenomenon, its usability and utility for businesses, the latest developments in this impactful concept, and the reference architecture.
