Have you heard about the popular open source tool used for searching and indexing that is used by giants like Wikipedia and Linkedin? No, I’m pretty sure you may have heard it in passing. Yes, I’m talking about Elasticsearch. In this blog, you’ll get to know the basics of Elasticsearch, its advantages, how to install it and indexing the documents using Elasticsearch. What is Elasticsearch? Elasticsearch is an open-source, enterprise-grade search engine which can power extremely fast searches that support all data discovery applications. With Elasticsearch we can store, search, and analyze big volumes of data quickly and in near real time. It is generally used as the underlying search engine that powers applications that have simple/complex search features and requirements. Advantages of Elasticsearch BUILT ON TOP OF LUCENE  – Being built on top of Lucene, it offers the most powerful full-text search capabilities. DOCUMENT-ORIENTED  – It stores complex entities as

This article gives an overarching understanding and some strategies to make a foray in the propitious IoT and enabled analytics & consulting services industry. It is the first instalment of the series of blogs we would be publishing on IoT in the recent future. IoT Analytics: Scope and Applications Ever since its inception, IoT has been transforming the way day-to-day tasks are being completed, businesses are being run and services are being provided. The effect of IoT is so pervasive that it has given rise to  terms like Cloud Capitalism and Cloud Economy, probably referring to staggering projected size of $100 trillion for digital economy, the scale and grandeur earlier reserved exclusively for oil industry. Unless you are living under a rock, chances are there that you have heard and probably used some of the IoT consumer devices like Amazon Echo, Google Home, Logitech Pop, NestCam, Ring which lash you with comforts like digital concierge, smart button control and sa

“Arguably the most significant development in information technology over the past few years, blockchain has the potential to change the way that the world approaches big data, with enhanced security and data quality just two of the benefits afforded to businesses using Satoshi Nakamoto’s landmark technology.” What is a Blockchain? Blockchain   is a distributed database system that acts as an “open ledger” to store and manage transactions. Each record in the database is called a block and contains details such as the transaction timestamp as well as a link to the previous block. This makes it impossible for anyone to alter information about the records retrospectively. Also, due to the fact that the same transaction is recorded over multiple, distributed database systems, the technology is secure by design. With the above in mind,  blockchain is immutable  – information remains in the same state for as long as the network exists. Blockchain and Big Data When you talk

The advent of sharing economy has brought a sea change in the way urban populace commute locally. The Ubers, Lyfts and many other local players have made taxi riding convenient, affordable and safe. These rides have emerged as a strong alternative to the public transport clocking millions of rides per month in some cities. The emergence of hyper-local delivery models to optimize the supply chain has also led to a large number of daily trips by these vehicles. These developments have mandated the installations of either standalone or smartphone app-based GPS devices to keep track of and better regulate these rides and a fleet of taxis. These GPS systems spew a ton of data generating up to GBs of data per second. With the automobile & technology experts predicting that self-driving cars would replace human-driven cars in no more than a decade, the volume and velocity of GPS data is only set to increase. With that context in mind, it becomes imperative to understand the GPS data
