Lesson 1:

Overview of Big Data


What is Big Data?
• Big data refers to extremely large and
complex datasets that cannot be easily
managed, processed, or analyzed using
traditional data processing tools.
• 100,000 tweets
• 204 million emails • 6 million views and 277,000 Facebook
sent Logins
• 61,000 hours of music • 2+ million Google searches
listened to on Spotify • 3 million uploads on Flickr
• 20 million photo views
Three V’s of Big Data
• 1. Variety: Big data comes in diverse
formats. It includes structured data (e.g.,
relational databases), semi-structured
data (e.g., JSON, XML), and
unstructured data (e.g., text, images,
videos). Managing and analyzing such
diverse data types is a key challenge in
big data processing.

2. Velocity: Big data is generated at a
high speed. The data is produced rapidly
and continuously, often in real-time.

• 3. Volume: Big data involves a vast
amount of data. This could be
terabytes, petabytes, or even exabytes
of information, far beyond what
traditional databases can handle.
