Gayatri Kapil, Alka Bani Agrawal, Raees Ahmad Khan · 2016
Bit by bit analysis and research on big data has become a hot cake for many organisations and can be more helpful for the industries like banking, e-commerce, insurance, manufacturing etc. to facilitate their customers. Traditionally, when the data was low in volume, it was easily managed and processed by traditional technologies. These technologies are incapable of handling it as big data differs in terms of volume, velocity and value as compared to the other data. Researchers & practitioner have identified, defined and explored big data in terms of its characteristics including volume, velocity, variety, value, virality, volatility, visualization, viscosity and validity. But these studies have been proven to be insufficient because of the growing issues repeated day by data. This paper has identified & defined three new characteristics of big data to be explored further to handle big data efficiently.
