Overview/Description
Big data is a term for data sets so large that traditional data processing applications can not be used to perform any sort of analysis. It is often semi structured or unstructured in form. There are a number of unique challenges that arise when companies begin to use big data. The least of which are the engineering concerns. This course will introduce some of those engineering challenges and describe how some companies have come up with solutions.
