Big Data Explosion
After Kerala’s Puttingal Devi Temple fire tragedy, we can visualize sudden data explosion in all digital media. After that tragic incident, huge amount of data are generated in the form of text, voice, photo, video, blogs etc. in internet via social media, news channels, e-news papers and comments, sentiments, various opinions are flooded on whether fire crackers burst should be allowed in devotional places or not. This is a classic example of Big Data where existing traditional software are incapable to process to achieve certain statistics. Using Apache’s Hadoop, we can.
In HDFS, which is part of Hadoop framework, very large data files can be stored irrespective of any format and subsequently can be processed to find some specific information or statistic .
