When is Big Data Too Big?

In fact, the'big' in Big Data will likely get even larger as billions of IoT (Internet of Things) devices come online. For self-styled'quants' like myself, Big Data is mana from heaven, as we can use large data sets to gain insight on almost everything. However, the rush of data and cracking an insanely large data set oftentimes breeds a sense of overconfidence in the power of Big Data. We make a lot of good decisions from small data and spreadsheets.' I would have to agree – more is not always better.
