What is Big Data Lambda Architecture?

There are scenarios of fast and slow data processing in terms of hot and cold paths of event streaming respectively in this era of big data and Internet of Things (IoT). In data-oriented software systems, the architecture pattern that has been derived to handle both fast and persistent data paths simultaneously is known as Lambda Architecture. It's a powerful data processing pattern utilized for both big data and IoT data processing architectures.

Lambda Architecture gives the benefit of handling massive amounts of petabyte-scale data to be processed both in batch as well as interactive mode.

Concepts of batch processing and stream processing in data analytics

The execution of a job in a series of small processes (batch) is known as batch processing, where the input data is divided into a number of chunks with a series of batch jobs. According to Wikipedia, the batch data processing has prevailed from the early nineteenth century for the processing of punch...
