It has created challenges in the processing of data and analysis, which need to go beyond the traditional centralized architecture to solve the current data volume, speed, and types. To address these challenges, fault-tolerant architectures have become one of the keys to meeting the needs of distributed big data analytics. Failure is a normal part of systems; these architectures are meant to accommodate failures of individual components so that the entire system does not need to stop working or, worse, give false results. They make use of several nodes to operate and retain data in a distributed fashion, which supplies excessive scalability and fault tolerance. This means that even if some nodes fail, a fault-tolerant architecture can still provide redundancy by replicating data across many nodes, giving the system redundancy. Fault-tolerant architectures also utilize efficient data processing techniques like partitioning and data parallel processing, to achieve high performance. This allows real-time and near-real-time analysis of streaming data.
