Big data is a term for data sets that are so large or complex that traditional data processing application software is inadequate to deal with them. Challenges include capture, storage, analysis, data curation, search, sharing, transfer, visualization, querying, updating and information privacy.
Categories
Structured
Any data that can be stored, accessed and processed in the form of fixed format is termed as a ‘structured’ data.
Unstructured
Any data with unknown form or the structure is classified as unstructured data. In addition to the size being huge, un-structured data poses multiple challenges in terms of its processing for deriving value out of it. Typical example of unstructured data is, a heterogeneous data source containing a combination of simple text files, images, videos etc. Now a day organizations have wealth of data available with them but unfortunately they don’t know how to derive value out of it since this data is in its raw form or unstructured format.
Semi-structured
Semi-structured data can contain both the forms of data. We can see semi-structured data as a strcutured in form but it is actually not defined with e.g. a table definition in relational DBMS. Example of semi-structured data is a data represented in XML file.

- Better operational efficiency – ‘Big Data’ technologies can be used for creating staging area or landing zone for new data before identifying what data should be moved to the data warehouse. In addition, such integration of ‘Big Data’ technologies and data warehouse helps organization to offload infrequently accessed data.
