Big Data is similar to small data but bigger in size. Big data is not being greater than certain number of petabytes or terabytes. This can be assumed technology expands over time and data set size which is assumed as Big Data will also increases. Data is increasing day by day exponentially so today data is increased beyond the storage capacity of traditional databases. To process and analyze such datasets which cannot be stored in traditional databases Big Data tool like Hadoop is used. This paper will discuss the introduction, characteristics and various tools used to process and analyze big data.
