Traditional approach for BIG DATA Analysis:
Indexing of large quantities of data
Structured data fragmentation, analysis & movement
Distributed elaboration based on Map-Reduce paradigm
Need for substantial available space & high performance I/O
Disadvantages:
Inefficient management of unknown unstructured data
New data requires analysis re-execution
Storage of large quantities of early obsolete information
Difficult extraction and comprehension of information
Difficult or impossible management of complex algorithms and large graphs
