There are lots of free, large data sets: * http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/where_to_find_open_data_on_the.php * http://www.quora.com/Data/Where-can-I-get-large-datasets-open-to-the-public
Just find one that interests you. There probably aren't many fields in which people didn't wish there was an easier way to view and analyze data. ----- Original Message ----- From: kumar vaibhav <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Cc: Sent: Sunday, January 29, 2012 7:04 AM Subject: Newbee Question : POC Idea for Hadoop Application Hi, I just want to know if anyone has any idea on what POC I could make using Hadoop? I want to build something that has real world usage and not something just to learn hadoop. So I'd like to make some sort of an analysis tool(domain can be any - healthcare, finance, etc.) that operates on huge amounts of data and the analysis is expensive in terms of analyst's time. Any ideas on how can I get started? Thanks a bunch in anticipation. vaibhav -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Newbee-Question-%3A-POC-Idea-for-Hadoop-Application-tp33223970p33223970.html Sent from the HBase User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
