Introduction to Big Data

Introduction to Big Data

1. Types of Digital Data

- Structured Data: Organized in rows and columns (e.g., databases).

- Unstructured Data: Not organized (e.g., videos, images, social media posts).

- Semi-Structured Data: Partially organized (e.g., XML, JSON).

2. History of Big Data Innovation

- Early 2000s: Emergence of web-scale data.

- 2005: Apache Hadoop introduced, enabling distributed data processing.

- 2010s: Growth of real-time and streaming platforms (Spark, Kafka).

- Present: Cloud-native analytics, AI/ML integration, edge computing.

3. Introduction to Big Data Platform
