摘 要：Big data is an inherent feature of the cloud and provides unprecedented opportunities to useboth traditional, structured database information and business analytics with social networking,sensor network data, and far less structured multimedia. Big data applications require a data-centric compute architecture, and many solutions include cloud-based APIs to interface withadvanced columnar searches, machine learning algorithms, and advanced analytics such ascomputer vision, video analytics, and visualization tools. This article examines the use of the Rlanguage and similar tools for big data analysis and methods to scale big data services in thecloud. It provides an in-depth look at digital photo management as a simple big data servicethat employs key elements of search, analytics, and machine learning applied to unstructureddata.
