Hadoop use cases

UseCases

Time to time we come across different interesting scenarios and use cases of Big Data which have a direct positive impact (weather forecast) and negative impact (user surveillance) on our lives. Here are some of the ones we found too interesting to share.

If you are involved in any interesting Big Data scenarios, please let me know and I will add it to this page. You can get my email from the `About Me` section on this blog.
