Abstract: Big Data is a term which is used when traditional database and data handling techniques were not able to handle the unstructured and very large data, for analyzing these types of data big data analytics strategy is used. Big data analytics allows data scientists and various users to assist in evaluating large volumes of data that traditional systems would not be able to handle properly. This paper describes implementing K-means clustering algorithm on different platforms available for performing big data analytics.
