Introduction to Big Data and Hadoop

What is Big data? Data represents useful information. Over the past decade, data has been significantly increasing.  Generally we store data in traditional relational databases. This is by far the most efficient method to store and retrieve considering small amounts (generally in megabytes or gigabytes) of data.  But what if the data is huge? (By huge I mean really huge.ie, in terms of terabytes or petabytes or exabytes or even zetabytes of data). Such large amount of data is considered as big data. There is no specific meaning for Big Data. It can be defined in many ways. But, if we were to define what big data is, we can define it in the following way: “Big data is the data which cannot be processed on a single machine” So we need some way to store and process data in an efficient manner. This can be achieved using “Hadoop”. What is Hadoop? Hadoop is an open source software framework used for distributed storage and processing of big...

User Location on Android Getting the user’s location on Android is a little less straightforward than on iOS. To start the confusion, there are two totally different ways you can do it. The first is using Android APIs from  android.location.LocationListener , and the second is using Google Play Services APIs  com.google.android.gms.location.LocationListener . Let’s go through both of them. 1.      Android’s Location API The Android’s location APIs use three different providers to get location - ·         LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER  — This provider determines location using satellites. Depending on conditions, this provider may take a while to return a location fix. ·         LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER  — This provider determines location based on availability of cell tower and WiFi access points. Results are r...
