traditional data and big data

Hi Achal!

Thanks for reaching out.

The idea of referring to big data is find solutions to datasets that traditional data tables can't organise and manage. While big data could incorporate traditional as well as semi-structured and unstructured data at the same time, we cannot say the same for traditional datasets. I.e., the vice-versa isn't true. But please remember that there's no point to say we are working with big data if it would only contain traditional data sets. In that case, we'd apply techniques related to traditional information only.

Hope this helps.
Best,
Martin
