Introduction to Big Data Analytics

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Towards the Integration of IoT, Cloud and Big Data

Abstract

Nowadays, social media and networks, scientific instruments, mobile devices, mobile devices, and a high volume of information data (tabular data, text files, images, videos, audio, logos, etc.) is generated at high velocity by social media and networks, scientific instruments, mobile devices, and sensors technology and networks. In these types of data, data quality is usually not guaranteed. This data can be structured or unstructured, necessitating a cost-effective, innovative method of data processing to improve understanding and decision-making. This chapter covers some introduction to Big Data analysis and its need, skills required for Big Data analysis, characteristics of Big data analysis, an overview of the Hadoop ecosystem, and some use cases of Big Data analysis.
