Here's my bottom line: Get this book, whether you are new to working with Big Data or now an old hand at dealing with Big Data’s seemingly never-ending (and steadily expanding) complexities.You may not agree with all that the authors offer or contend in this well-written "theory" text. But Nathan Marz’s Lambda Architecture is well worth serious consideration, especially if you are now trying to come up with more reliable and more efficient approaches to processing and mining Big Data. The writers' explanations of some of the power, problems, and possibilities of Big Data systems are among the clearest and best I have read."More than 30,000 gigabytes of data are generated every second, and the rate of data creation is only accelerating," Marz and Warren point out.Thus, previous "solutions" for working with Big Data are now getting overwhelmed, not only by the sheer volume of information pouring in but by greater system complexities and failures of overworked hardware that now plague many outmoded systems.The authors have structured their book to show "how to approach building a solution to any Big Data problem. The principles you’ll learn hold true regardless of the tooling in the current landscape, and you can use these principles to rigorously choose what tools are appropriate for your application.” In other words, they write, you will “learn how to fish, not just how to use a particular fishing rod.”However, a particular Big Data architecture IS featured, as well: Marz's Lambda Architecture. It is, the two authors explain, "an architecture that takes advantage of clustered hardware along with new tools designed specifically to capture and analyze web-scale data.
