I was looking for a book with a little more explanation as to different big data architectures, and this book delivers. The author clearly describes the subprojects of Hadoop and various noSQL databases, highlighting their main differences and use cases. Anyone in BI and information management should add this to their library. Cindi Howson, BI Scorecard, and author, Successful Business Intelligence: Unlock the Value of BI & Big Data, Second Edition Review: Highly recommend as a primer on Big Data - A great primer and reference for Hadoop and Big Data beginners. Not a programming or configuration reference, but you will learn how traditional and modern data systems have come about, and how they are used. A great way to get up to speed on the modern jargon surrounding Big Data, plus you get enough context that you will figure out what book (if any) you need to read next for your needs. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #750,780 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #373 in Enterprise Applications #438 in Cloud Computing (Books) #888 in Databases & Big Data | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 228 Reviews | ## Images ![Big Data For Dummies - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71FkOE-zvqL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Expert book - not at all for dummies *by C***N on September 6, 2013* Don't let the title fool you - this book is not for dummies. I was looking for a book with a little more explanation as to different big data architectures, and this book delivers. The author clearly describes the subprojects of Hadoop and various noSQL databases, highlighting their main differences and use cases.

Cindi Howson, BI Scorecard, and author, Successful Business Intelligence: Unlock the Value of BI & Big Data, Second Edition ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommend as a primer on Big Data *by T***. on August 17, 2014* A great primer and reference for Hadoop and Big Data beginners. Not a programming or configuration reference, but you will learn how traditional and modern data systems have come about, and how they are used. A great way to get up to speed on the modern jargon surrounding Big Data, plus you get enough context that you will figure out what book (if any) you need to read next for your needs. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Helpful for the Uninitiated *by E***N on April 12, 2014* My Engineering department constantly talks about Hadoop, Sqoop, Pig and Hive, and I was afraid that the zookeeper they referred to was somehow a real thing. So, I bought Big Data for Dummies. If you are brand new to the world of big data, the book will be a decent resource. You'll get the bulk of the buzzwords, a fair bit of general information, and some useful things to consider as part of the implementation process (where as a business leader, I needed to learn something) in the book. Sections of it are written for folks who may have a bit stronger engineering background than my one FORTRAN class 20 years ago, and these sections are pretty tough to comprehend. I wish it had more general business elements, and the sections that deal with the problems and challenges of big data (Parts 5-7) are probably the most useful to the business generalist. If they could plus these up in the next edition, it would be great. However, if you are looking for a quick read to get a general idea of what this is all about, it's an OK book - probably 3.5 stars, candidly... ## Frequently Bought Together - Big Data For Dummies - Data Warehousing For Dummies - Data Lakes For Dummies --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/5316873-big-data-for-dummies](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/5316873-big-data-for-dummies) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-06-02*
