Hadoop is NOT “Big Data” is NOT “Analytics”

CADDZOOM

In consideration to fact that the popularity of word ‘Hadoop’, ‘Big Data’, and ‘Analytics’ is relevantly high and therefore, for those who are interested in working in the field of Analytics, should understand that the three words have completely different meaning. Therefore, it is no justice to use them interchangeably.

What Differentiates Hadoop from Big Data?

Hadoop is a software framework used for storing and processing of Big Data. The open source tool is built on Java platform and focuses on performance improvisation on the formation of clusters of commodity hardware. While considering the Big Data and Hadoop going parallel to each other, it is important to understand that both have distinct job descriptions.  Therefore, Big Data just acts like a fuel that Hadoop work on to convert into a form that is easy for analysis. In addition, a person who is able to write down the code and the related frameworks cannot necessarily understand the related patterns and work on actionable insights. This work area should be assigned to a data scientist. The two terms have completely different job descriptions.

What Makes “Big Data” Efficient?

Big is a term that is described using the four Vs such as Velocity of data, Volume of data, Variety of data and Veracity of data. The term is can be explained through the following example, HR data fetches low volume, and velocity of data as the data requires low computing power. Thus, even the low power for calculating and processing HR data seems like big data for the practitioners. It implies that big data is efficient and has outlived its usefulness.

 

Although, the terms have complete different functionalities yet ‘Big data’ and ‘Hadoop’ creates opportunities like never before. It is anticipated that “smart data” should replace “big data” for most of the analytical applications!

What’s New in AUTOCAD CIVIL 3D 2018

CADDZOOM

AutoCAD Civil 3D is a documentation and design solution that supports BIM workflows. It also helps engineers, drafters, and technicians to understand project performance better. Users can also streamline time-consuming tasks such as pressure pipes, parcel layout, gravity, and corridor design with some tools and customization design standards. Following are the latest features and benefits:

Pipe sizing and analysis

The changes are introduced in the area of resizing of pipes and resetting inverts. In addition, new feature includes computing of energy and hydraulic grade lines in accordance to HEC-22 2009 standards.

Dynamic offset profiles

Software now enables creation of dynamic offset profiles by using cross slope. It is also possible to create dynamic offset profiles by using the same command such as for offset alignments. Profile geometry offset using a default cross slope, can be modified by editing properties of profiles.

Plan and profile sheet generation

It is now possible to create plan and profile sheet by including more than one plan/profile views on one sheet. Take help of AutoCAD Civil 3D production tools for producing construction documents through drawings. Therefore, you can easily create profile/plan, plan(s), and sections sheets.

Relative Elevation Feature Lines

One can easily obtain feature lines elevations from surface and so, when the surface is updated, the features line is updated. Thus, the update behavior of a feature line varies depending on whether the feature line was set to be relative or just set to be created for absolute elevations.

Connected alignments

There is a new linked alignment and profile connecting two intersecting alignments and profiles. The connected alignment feature can be used to create new alignment and profiles that transition between their profiles. The feature is efficient to create an exit ramp, a merging or diverging road, a curb return, or perhaps for connect existing road to proposed road.

Corridor Overlap Resolutions

In consideration to corridor cleanup issues that are not cleaned up automatically, the new feature is introduced to resolve corridor bowties. Elaborately, at some of the locations on corridor models, the links can now cross each other that result into bowtie-like configurations.

Traverse Editor

Now, you can use the Traverses collection for management of existing traverses within the network. Creation of Traverses from data in a field book file or by using the Traverses Editor for manually entering survey data. For example, you can create data or hand notes from the site plan.

Label Property Set Data

Use Property Set tab within the standard label setup process for adding custom properties to label styles. So, you can now add custom data to AutoCAD Civil 3D 2018 object labels with the use of property sets.
