A new big data architecture involves ingesting, processing, and analyzing large or complex data sources. It includes batch processing of stored data, real-time processing of streaming data, interactive exploration, and predictive analytics. The key components are data sources, storage like a data lake, batch and stream processing, an analytical data store, analysis/reporting, and orchestration. Batch jobs prepare stored data while stream processing handles real-time data before loading into the analytical data store for querying, exploration, and insights.
