The Rise of Unstructured Data

Cloudera

The International Data Corporation (IDC) estimates that by 2025 the sum of all data in the world will be in the order of 175 Zettabytes (one Zettabyte is 10^21 bytes). Most of that data will be unstructured, and only about 10% will be stored. Less will be analysed.

Google BigQuery: A Game-Changing Data Warehousing Solution

ProjectPro

There are a number of functions, operations, and procedures that are specific to each data type. Due to this, combining and contrasting the STRING and BYTE types is impossible. BYTES(L), where L is a positive INT64 number, indicates a sequence of bytes with a maximum of L bytes allowed in the binary string.

Apache Spark vs MapReduce: A Detailed Comparison

Knowledge Hut

Big data sets are generally huge – measuring tens of terabytes – and sometimes crossing the threshold of petabytes. It is surprising to know how much data is generated every minute. quintillion bytes of data are created every single day, and it’s only going to grow from there. As estimated by DOMO : Over 2.5
