Harvard Business Review has declared data science as the ‘sexiest profession of the 21^st century’, and rightfully so. Keeping in mind, the amount of data being generated each day, the future scope of data science is bright, in fact, very bright. Students of technology, business, economics, mathematics, computer science, and the related subject domains, are all eligible to prepare for a data analyst role.

In the U.S., it is expected that there will exist 2.7 million openings…

If you have learned temporal parallelism used to speed up CPU execution, you came across instruction pipelines aka pipeline processing. In pipeline processing, you will have many instructions in different stages of execution. The term "Data Pipeline" is a misnomer representing a high bandwidth communication channel used for data transportation between a source system and a destination. In certain cases the destination is called a sink. Pipelines by definition allow flow of a fluid…

Hadoop is an open-source framework that stores and process big data in a distributed environment using simple programming models. It is designed to scale up from single servers to thousands of machines, while each offers local computation and storage. Hadoop divides a file into blocks and stores across a cluster of machines. It achieves fault tolerance by replicating the blocks on a cluster.

Hadoop can be used as a flexible and easy way for the distributed processing of large…

A few years ago I took a call from an analyst at a hedge fund who was looking for external data that would, in his words, provide “alpha.” I explained that our company was connected to thousands of data sources and hundreds of thousands of public datasets; I told him that we were continuously pulling in open data from 70 countries, standardizing it through an ingestion pipeline trained against the largest catalogue of public data in the world, and serving it up…
