Ensuring the integrity of Big Data Quality is crucial for maintaining data that is secure, precise, and comprehensive. As data transitions across various IT infrastructures or is housed within Data Lakes, it faces significant challenges in reliability. The primary Big Data issues include: (i) Unidentified inaccuracies in the incoming data, (ii) the desynchronization of multiple data sources over time, (iii) unanticipated structural changes to data in downstream operations, and (iv) the complications arising from diverse IT platforms like Hadoop, Data Warehouses, and Cloud systems. When data shifts between these systems, such as moving from a Data Warehouse to a Hadoop ecosystem, NoSQL database, or Cloud services, it can encounter unforeseen problems. Additionally, data may fluctuate unexpectedly due to ineffective processes, haphazard data governance, poor storage solutions, and a lack of oversight regarding certain data sources, particularly those from external vendors. To address these challenges, DataBuck serves as an autonomous, self-learning validation and data matching tool specifically designed for Big Data Quality. By utilizing advanced algorithms, DataBuck enhances the verification process, ensuring a higher level of data trustworthiness and reliability throughout its lifecycle.
