Hyderabad Based Startup Built Largest Ever Big data Electoral Repository

I was gone through an email from my friend saying that they are creating a Hadoop project to analyze voters data. This project in my view is both academic and research oriented.
hadoop project
The real challenge was extraction of voter info from 2.5 crore PDF pages and translation of the same into English to fuse with other sources. The technology was a big hurdle. 

Hadoop Project

The infrastructure, built especially for the project, included 64 node Hadoop, PostgreSQL and servers that process a master file containing over 8 Terabytes of Data.

Besides, Testing and Validation was another big task. ‘First of a Kind’ Heuristic (machine learning) algorithms were developed for people classification based on name, geography etc., which help in the identification of religion, caste, and even ethnicity.

Data from Sources

“Data from multiple sources like census, economic and social surveys were mapped to polling booths. Simultaneously, external and propriety data sources had to be fused with individual voters’ data,” informed Joshi.

Top Differences Read Today Agile vs Waterfall model

The Agile and Waterfall both models are popular in Software development. The Agile model is so flexible compared to waterfall model. Top differences on Waterfall vs Agile give you clear understanding on both the processes. Waterfall ModelThe traditional model is waterfall. It has less flexibility.Expensive and time consuming model.Less scalable to meet the demand of customer requirements.The approach is top down. Starting from requirements one has to finish all the stages, till deployment to complete one cycle.A small change in requirement, one has to follow all the stages till deployment.Waterfall model creates idleness in resource management. Agile ModelAgile model is excellent for rapid deployment of small changesThe small split-requirements you can call them as sprintsLess idleness in resource management.Scope for complete team involvement.Faster delivery makes client happy.You can deploy changes related to compliance or regulatory quickly.Collaboration improves among the team.
