How to classify storage data processing?

Storage data processing can be classified into several categories based on different criteria such as data type, processing method, and application scenario. Here are some common classifications:

1. By Data Type

  • Structured Data: Organized data that fits well in relational databases, such as tables with rows and columns.
    • Example: Customer information in a CRM system.
  • Unstructured Data: Data without a pre-defined data model or not organized in a pre-defined manner, such as text documents, images, and videos.
    • Example: Social media posts, medical images.
  • Semi-structured Data: Data that has some organizational properties but does not conform to a rigid data model, such as XML and JSON files.
    • Example: Configuration files, web pages.

2. By Processing Method

  • Batch Processing: Processing data in large batches at regular intervals.
    • Example: Daily sales report generation.
  • Real-time Processing: Processing data as it arrives, providing immediate results.
    • Example: Stock market monitoring systems.
  • Stream Processing: Processing data in real-time as it flows from one point to another.
    • Example: IoT sensor data analysis.

3. By Application Scenario

  • Data Warehousing: Storing and managing large amounts of historical data for analysis and reporting.
    • Example: Sales data analysis for a retail company.
  • Data Lakes: Storing raw data in its native format until it is needed.
    • Example: Storing all types of data from various sources for future analysis.
  • Object Storage: Storing unstructured data as objects, often used for large-scale data storage.
    • Example: Storing and serving images and videos on a website.
