CSV file

Question

Can I use CSV file to do big data analysis?

Answer 1

It is the most verbose format of tabular data storage you can think of :)
It is not a distributable format though, so you can't really do parallelized data computing on it, just like that.
So, considering what you mean under "big", you can do... *some* data analysis with .csv ;)

Answer 2

Martin Taylor OK, got me! 😂
Indeed, could be worse than csv ;)

Answer 3

CSV is used for data storage. You can use it for data input/output... So read the data in memory (from csv) and analyze them (and/or store your results in csv)...
