Big Data NFRs

Abstract

Non-Functional requirements (NFRs) like security, performance, scalability, and others are of prime concern in big data architectures. Apart from traditional data security and privacy concerns, virtualized environments add the challenges of a hybrid environment. Big data also introduces challenges of NoSQL databases, new distributed file systems, evolving ingestion mechanisms, and minimal authorization security provided by the Hadoop-like platforms. Let’s look at the different scenarios where NFRs can be fine-tuned by extending the patterns discussed in earlier chapters as well as new patterns.
