Every passing minute, we are gathering more data across the globe and we now have computing power to store and process the data assets. Let us briefly understand the fundamental architecture of big data systems. In the current form, the big data computing framework is an enormous collection of computation nodes that are distributed across the globe. There are two primary distinctions within the deployments. The systems can be deployed on-premise for the enterprises and there is a paradigm shift towards cloud computing where the compute infrastructure is virtualized and it is geographically distributed in various regions.
The independent units of compute are termed as nodes. The nodes are interconnected and ...
