Abstract
The term big data is extensively used in many computational and decision making domains. Big data is nothing but the large data sets formed from various sources and are almost impossible to process and analyse using traditional approaches because of its complexity. Efficient analysis and processing of big data within a given time frame is essential for it to be useful. Various technologies like Hadoop, MapReduce, etc. are used to analyse the big data and hence possible to retrieve knowledge from the large datasets. This paper focuses on the impact of big data, the technologies in big data processing and its limitations and the emerging trends in big data
