Project purpose: The purpose of the Big Data Research project is to revolutionize data analytics
through the development and implementation of innovative software solutions. By leveraging
advanced technologies, the project aims to address complex data requirements efficiently,
ultimately enhancing datadriven decisionmaking processes.
Scope:
Objectives:
Understand core Big Data concepts: volume, velocity, variety, and veracity.
Identify challenges in managing and analyzing large datasets.
Learn data capture techniques: batch processing, stream processing, real-time ingestion.
Familiarize with Big Data technologies: Hadoop, Spark, NoSQL databases.
Document stakeholder requirements accurately.
Technologies Used
In a Pythoncentric approach to Big Data analysis, Apache Kafka and Apache Spark handle data capture and
processing, while Python libraries like Pandas, NumPy, and SciPy aid in manipulation and exploration.
MongoDB serves as the database for storing structured and unstructured data. Development and testing
utilize PySpark and PyTest for scalable processing and unit testing. Optimization relies on tools like cProfile
and line_profiler. Documentation and presentation tasks leverage Jupyter Notebooks for interactive analysis,
and Markdown, along with visualization libraries like Matplotlib and Seaborn, for creating insightful
visualizations.
