Express big data in your own words. Explain three Vs of big data with reference to email data.

Big data refers to extremely large and complex datasets that cannot be processed by traditional data processing tools. These datasets often contain valuable insights but require advanced tools and techniques for analysis. The three Vs of big data are:

  1. Volume: Refers to the vast amount of data generated, such as thousands of emails received daily.
  2. Velocity: Describes the speed at which data is created and processed, such as real-time email notifications and responses.
  3. Variety: Refers to the different types of data, such as text, attachments, and images in emails, which require varied processing methods.
