    “令人尴尬的并行”计算是那些可以轻松划分并独立运行的工作负载。如果任何一个进程失败,该进程不会对其他进程产生影响,只需重新运行即可。
  • Open-source projects, which are free and completely transparent, run the world of Big Data and include the Hadoop project and big data tools like Apache Hive and Apache Spark.
    开源项目,免费且完全透明,运行着大数据的世界,包括 Hadoop 项目以及 Apache Hive 和 Apache Spark 等大数据工具。
  • The Big Data tool ecosystem includes the following six main tooling categories: data technologies, analytics and visualization, business intelligence, cloud providers, NoSQL databases, and programming tools.
    大数据工具生态系统包括以下六个主要工具类别:数据技术、分析和可视化、商业智能、云服务提供商、NoSQL 数据库和编程工具。
