Mining the Associated Patterns in Big Data Using Hadoop Cluster

The level of data usage goes on increasing day by day in every aspect of life, the notion of data mining and Big data lies in the fact that, how the related (associated) pattern or the information is maintained and reused. This doesn't mean it can only be implemented in the huge volume of data. It can be applied to all fields of data collection, but the relative need is the association existing between the data sets. There exists n number of methods to find the associations between the data, but comforting them to scale up with the big data seems really challenging. The paper aims at retrieving the recurrent patterns with respect to big datasets. Apriori algorithm is used to fetch the associated patterns and their performance enhancements over various data sets were evaluated.
