Question - What is the reason behind using Hadoop in Big Data analytics?
Answer -
Businesses generate a lot of data in a single day and the data generated is unstructured in nature. Data analysis with unstructured data is difficult as it renders traditional big data solutions ineffective. Hadoop comes into the picture when the data is complex, large and especially unstructured. Hadoop is important in Big Data analytics because of its characteristics:
- Data storage
- Data processing
- Collection plus extraction of data
