6 2 Introduction

2.1 Growing Datasets

Data growth is one of the most important trends in the industry nowadays. The same

applies also to science and even to our everyday lives. Eric Schmidt famously said in

2010, as Google’s CEO at that time, that every 2 days we create as much information

as we did up to 2003. This statement underlines a fact that the data growth we observe

is not just linear, but it is accelerating.

Let us look at a few examples of big datasets in Fig. 2.1. You are most prob-

ably familiar with a concept of trending articles on Wikipedia. It presents hourly

updated Wikipedia trends. Have you ever wondered how these trends are determined?

Wikipedia servers store page trafﬁc data aggregated per hour; this leads quite directly

to the calculation of trends. However, one caveat is the amount of data it requires.

One month of such data requires 50 GBs of storage space and related computational

capabilities. While it is not much for each separate month, at moment you want to

analyze data from several months, both storage and computation become a consid-

erable challenge. In one of the earlier chapters, we already discussed the analysis

of genomic information as one of the major use cases for data-intensive systems, of

which 1000 Genomes Project is a famous example. Data collected as a part of this

project require 200 TBs of storage.

2.1 Growing Datasets 7

Walmart is one of the major global retailers, so it comes as no surprise that they

collect a signiﬁcant amount of data related to customer transactions; a few years this

was estimated at 2.5 PBs. Scientiﬁc experiments on Large Hadron Collider (LHC)

at CERN generate around 30 PBs of data a year. I t is important to notice that this

amount of new data has to be stored, backed up, and processed every single year. The

last example I would like to offer is Internet Archive, which you are familiar with

most probably due to Wayback Machine it offers. It gives you a chance of exploring

how websites were changing with time. Currently, total storage used by the Internet

Archives reached 50 PBs.

To put these numbers in context, let us consider the largest hard drive available

now; it is 8 TBs. It would take over 6000 HDDs to just store Internet Archive; this

does not include extra storage to provide redundancy in case of failure. It would take

almost 4000 new HDDs every year for LHC data, again in just one copy, without

any redundancy.

2.2 Hardware Trends

All these data need to be stored and processed. Storage capacity has been growing

quite rapidly in the recent years. At the same time, processing capacity has not been

growing accordingly fast. This is easiest visualized by comparing growth in hard drive

capacity with hard drive throughput in Fig. 2.2. You can notice that the capacity of

a regular hard drive grows exponentially, while throughput linearly. Typically, data

generation pace corresponds closely with the increase in storage capabilities, what

results in keeping the available storage occupied. The conclusion i s that every year

it takes longer and longer to read all data from a hard drive. Price and capacity

improvements in SSD and memory technologies enable more complex algorithms

and frameworks for data processing, but they do not change the general trend.

This brings us to the core of the problem. How can we process all these infor-

mation within a reasonable time if the capacity growths faster than throughput?

One possibility is some form of parallel processing. However, traditional parallel

programming techniques separate data processing from data storage. This way read-

ing through data remains a bottleneck. MapReduce paradigm, which is dominant in

data-intensive systems, s olves this problem combination of map- and reduce-based

functional programming routines with a distributed ﬁle system. Hadoop is the most

common example of such a system. The focus is shifted from moving data to compu-

tation, to moving computation to data. This general idea is prevalent in the modern

data-intensive; it is a deﬁning feature.

2.3 The V’s of Big Data

Deﬁnition of big data through a combination of three characteristics—volume, vari-

ety, and velocity—goes back to 2001. In a short paper, Doug Laney (2001)from

Gartner introduced for the ﬁrst time the combination of these three elements as an

approach to deﬁning big data. It was later widely adopted and with time extended

with many additional adjectives starting with v.

The most commonly adopted deﬁnition now comes from NIST Big Data Public

Working Group, which is one of its documents (SP NIST 2015) deﬁned big data as

consisting of “extensive datasets—primarily in the characteristics of volume, variety,

velocity, and/or variability—that require a scalable architecture for efﬁcient storage,

manipulation, and analysis.”

The volume describes the sheer amount of data, variety refers to different types

and sources of data, velocity represents the speed of arrival of data, and variability

is related to any change in aforementioned characteristics. For instance, average

velocity might be low, but it might have picks, which are important to account for. In

some case, it is just one of these four characteristics that strongly pronounced in your

data, most typically it might be volume. In other cases, none of the characteristics is

challenging on its own, but a combination of them leads to a big data challenge.

There are two general technological trends that are associated with big data. The

ﬁrst is horizontal scaling. The traditional way to meet growing demand for computing

power was to replace existing machines with new and more powerful; it is called

vertical scaling. Due to changes in hardware development, this approach became

unsustainable. Instead, a new approach is to build a cluster of ordinary machines and

add more machines to the cluster with growing processing need. Such an approach

is called horizontal scaling.

The second related trend is related to the software side of the big data. Storage and

computation used to be separated that the ﬁrst step in data processing was sending data

10 2 Introduction

You can observe a departure from a universal database in favor of specialized

databases suited narrowly to data characteristics and application goals. Sometimes,

the actual schema is applied only when reading the data, what allows for even greater

ﬂexibility in the data model.

2.5 Data as the Fourth Paradigm of Science

In January 2007, Jim Gray gave a talk to Computer Science and Telecommunica-

tions Board of (American) National Research Council on transformations in the

scientiﬁc method he observed. This talk later led to a book The Fourth Paradigm.

Data-Intensive Scientiﬁc Discovery (Hey et al 2009), which develops on the ideas

presented in the talk.

Gray groups history of science in three paradigms. In the beginning, science was

empirical (or experimental), and it revolved around describing and testing observed

phenomena. It was followed by theoretical science, in which generalized models

were created in form of laws and theories. With time, phenomena we wished to

describe became too complex to be contained in generalized models. This gave rise

to computational science, focused on simulation, which was assisted by exponential

growth in computing power—Moore’s Law. Relying on the growth of computing

power of individual desktop machines, and also supercomputers, is referred to as

vertical scaling. Timescale between science paradigms is presented in Fig. 2.4.

Currently, we observe an emergence of a new fourth paradigm in science, data-

intensive. Exponentially increasing amounts of data are collected, for instance, from

advanced instruments (such as Large Hadron Collider at CERN), everyday sensors

(Internet of Things), or wearable devices (such as activity bracelets). Data become

central to the scientiﬁc process. They require new methodologies, tools, infrastruc-

tures, and differently trained scientists.

Gray also observes that in data-intensive science problems and methods can be

abstracted from a speciﬁc context. Usually, two general approaches are common

“looking for needles in haystacks or looking for the haystacks themselves.” There are

several generic tools for data collection and analysis, which support these approaches.
