A Survey on Big Data Analytics Using HADOOP

Abstract

In this digital world, as organizations are evolving rapidly with data centric asset the explosion of data and size of the databases have been growing exponentially. Data is generated from different sources like business processes, transactions, social networking sites, web servers, etc. and remains in structured as well as unstructured form. The term ― Big data is used for large data sets whose size is beyond the ability of commonly used software tools to capture, manage, and process the data within a tolerable elapsed time. Big data varies in size ranging from a few dozen terabytes to many petabytes of data in a single data set. Difficulties include capture, storage, search, sharing, analytics and visualizing. Big data is available in structured, unstructured and semi-structured data format. Relational database fails to store this multi-structured data. Apache Hadoop is efficient, robust, reliable and scalable framework to store, process, transforms and extracts big data. Hadoop framework is open source and fee software which is available at Apache Software Foundation. In this paper we will present Hadoop, HDFS, Map Reduce and c-means big data algorithm to minimize efforts of big data analysis using Map Reduce code. The objective of this paper is to summarize the state-of-the-art efforts in clinical big data analytics and highlight what might be needed to enhance the outcomes of clinical big data analytics tools and related fields.
