Collecting Uncertain Data the Reactive Way
Featuring Jeff Smith
Before you can even get started building large-scale data analytic systems, you need to start with one crucial element: data. Collecting data, especially collecting lots of data, is harder than it seems. Data ingested with the wrong data model can be worse than no data at all, and a data...
