The Big Data story told through amusing pictures

A look back at some of the most amusing pictures posted by Big Data and Hadoop fans through the year 2013. The pictures weave a story around themselves and give you a peek into the fascinating world around the lingo, terms and tools. The pictures will be rendered from Twitter stream... so be patient while the page loads. 

Defining Big Data:


To be more precise:


No wonder, it's so easy to fall in love with Big Data:


Just say what is in your heart:


And, what is at back of your mind:


You may just get obsessed with the lingo:


Or, overwhelmed by the data:


Probably, just chillax with some massage from Cloudera:


While Dilbert chips in with some of his jibe:


So, you finally discover life of a Big Data consultant:


And, figure out that you are one of the pack in this zoo:

Offloading legacy with Hadoop

With most Fortune 500 organizations having invested in mainframes and other workload systems in the past, the rise of Big Data platforms poses newer integration challenges. The data integration and ETL players are finding fresh opportunities to solve business and IT problems within the Hadoop ecosystem.
To understand the context, challenges and opportunities, we asked a few questions to Syncsort CEO Lonne Jaffe. Syncsort provides fast, secure, enterprise-grade software spanning Big Data in Apache Hadoop to Big Iron on mainframes. At Syncsort, Lonne Jaffe is focusing on accelerating the growth of the company's high-performance Big Data offerings, both organically and through acquisition.
From mainframes to Hadoop and other platforms, Syncsort seems to have been evolving itself continuously. Where do you see Syncsort heading further?Lonne Jaffe: Syncsort is extraordinary in its ability to continuously reinvent itself. Today, we’re innovating around Apache Hadoop and other Big Data pla…

Data deduplication tactics with HDFS and MapReduce

As the amount of data continues to grow exponentially, there has been increased focus on stored data reduction methods. Data compression, single instance store and data deduplication are among the common techniques employed for stored data reduction.
Deduplication often refers to elimination of redundant subfiles (also known as chunks, blocks, or extents). Unlike compression, data is not changed and eliminates storage capacity for identical data. Data deduplication offers significant advantage in terms of reduction in storage, network bandwidth and promises increased scalability.
From a simplistic use case perspective, we can see application in removing duplicates in Call Detail Record (CDR) for a Telecom carrier. Similarly, we may apply the technique to optimize on network traffic carrying the same data packets.
Some of the common methods for data deduplication in storage architecture include hashing, binary comparison and delta differencing. In this post, we focus on how MapReduce and…

Top Big Data Influencers of 2015

2015 was an exciting year for big data and hadoop ecosystem. We saw hadoop becoming an essential part of data management strategy of almost all major enterprise organizations. There is cut throat competition among IT vendors now to help realize the vision of data hub, data lake and data warehouse with Hadoop and Spark.
As part of its annual assessment of big data and hadoop ecosystem, HadoopSphere publishes a list of top big data influencers each year. The list is derived based on a scientific methodology which involves assessing various parameters in each category of influencers. HadoopSphere Top Big Data Influencers list reflects the people, products, organizations and portals that exercised the most influence on big data and ecosystem in a particular year. The influencers have been listed in the following categories:
