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.

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.
