Comment on Big Data vs Intelligent Data (and what Startups can do with it)parent

Comments

I think many people are confused about what "big data" means.

I work for an analytics consulting company, and many of our clients want us to use Hadoop with their data. They've heard that Hadoop is the standard for big data, and they associate with "big data" with machine learning.

But the data they want us to put in Hadoop is usually small enough to work with in RAM on my laptop.

It must be great to have such naive clients.
