Abstract
Big data has attracted significant and increasing attention recently and has become a hot topic in the areas of IT industry, finance, business, academia, and scientific research. In the digital world, the amount of generated data has increased. According to the research of International Data Corporation (IDC), 33 zettabytes of data were created in 2018, and it is estimated that the amount of data will scale up more than five times from 2018 to 2025. In addition, the advertising sector, healthcare industry, biomedical companies, private firms, and governmental agencies have to make many investments in the collection, aggregation, and sharing of enormous amounts of data. To process this large-scale data, specific data processing techniques are used rather than conventional methodologies. This chapter deals with the concepts, architectures, technologies, and techniques that process big data.
