An Empirical Study on Big Data Analytics: Challenges and Directions

The current technology trends have escalated to a stage at which human beings now produce, create and interact with data. Latest technologies all contribute to the production of these data. Henceforth, this huge development of information has prompted the improvement of big data. Many researchers have carried out several studies in this regard. Still, there is a lack of comprehensive literature that addresses the various aspects, technologies, challenges and directions in this area. It is impossible to come to a conclusion without a complete knowledge of the above. Henceforth, this paper examines the difficulties in the appropriation of big data and suggests the best practices to overcome them. Significantly, it analyzed the various areas of big data such as the features, strengths and technological tools for big data process.
