In this session, Arup talks about Big Data. Big Data is the future of database computing and knowing about it is not just a luxury you can avoid anymore; it's necessary for survival and growth. But Hadoop, Spark, Hive, Map/Reduce, Flume - if these terms hit you more often than you have the time to pause and think about them, in this informative session Arup explaines it all from the perspective of an Oracle professional; how they are same or different and how they compare with RAC or parallel query.
