A Comparative Study on Big Data Handling Using Relational and Non-Relational Data Model

Abstract

Unstructured data, which is the heart of big data, are generating in every moment due to the revolution of Internet. Relational data model is not the right tool to handle such unstructured data because it has limitation of scalability, accessibility, flexibility, agility and in addition redundancy in database. In order to resolve those flaws of relational data model, a number of non-relational data models have been invented. Among those data models, this paper focuses on document oriented data model on some cosmetic products, explores the different shortcomings of relational data model compared to non-relational data model and suggests the best data model for cosmetic product.
