Big data is a buzzword, as well as catch-phrase, accustomed
to describe a massive volume involving both structured and unstructured data
that is certainly so large that it is difficult for you to process using traditional
database and application techniques.
While the term may seem to reference the volume of data, that
is not always the case. The term big data -- particularly when used by vendors
-- may refer to the technology (which involves tools and processes) that an
organization requires when they have to handle the large amounts of data and
storage facilities.
The term big data is considered to have originated with web
search companies who had to query very large distributed aggregations of
loosely-structured data.
