But not every piece of data has to big, it’s more about questions and answers that range from small to medium to HUGE in: business, entertainment, politics, government, law, health, travel, genetics, biology, defense, history, friendship, social communications, public safety…the list goes on!
These answers come from the analytics and visualization side of Big Data. The data repositories created by Hadoop, Spark, Cloudera,Hortonworks, Hive, Splunk, Hunk, MapReduce and dozens of other infrastructure software products are important, however, once you get access to all the relevant internal data that in the cloud, that’s when the real solution formation process begins.
