The state of the art and taxonomy of big data analytics: view from new big data framework

TLDR: A review of the literature that analyzes the use of big data tools and big data analytics techniques in areas like health and medical care, social networking and internet, government and public sector, natural resource management, economic and business sector is presented.

Abstract: Big data has become a significant research area due to the birth of enormous data generated from various sources like social media, internet of things and multimedia applications. Big data has played critical role in many decision makings and forecasting domains such as recommendation systems, business analysis, healthcare, web display advertising, clinicians, transportation, fraud detection and tourism marketing. The rapid development of various big data tools such as Hadoop, Storm, Spark, Flink, Kafka and Pig in research and industrial communities has allowed the huge number of data to be distributed, communicated and processed. Big data applications use big data analytics techniques to efficiently analyze large amounts of data. However, choosing the suitable big data tools based on batch and stream data processing and analytics techniques for development a big data system are difficult due to the challenges in processing and applying big data. Practitioners and researchers who are developing big data systems have inadequate information about the current technology and requirement concerning the big data platform. Hence, the strengths and weaknesses of big data technologies and effective solutions for Big Data challenges are needed to be discussed. Hence, due to that, this paper presents a review of the literature that analyzes the use of big data tools and big data analytics techniques in areas like health and medical care, social networking and internet, government and public sector, natural resource management, economic and business sector. The goals of this paper are to (1) understand the trend of big data-related research and current frames of big data technologies; (2) identify trends in the use or research of big data tools based on batch and stream processing and big data analytics techniques; (3) assist and provide new researchers and practitioners to place new research activity in this domain appropriately. The findings of this study will provide insights and knowledge on the existing big data platforms and their application domains, the advantages and disadvantages of big data tools, big data analytics techniques and their use, and new research opportunities in future development of big data systems.
