Method of processing big data, including arranging icons in a workflow gui by a user, checking process availability and syntax, converting the workflow into execution code, monitoring the workflow, and displaying associated information

Abstract

Provided is a method of processing a big data which may include arranging a plurality of action icons from a palette and a plurality of flow icons representing a non-cyclic order for the plurality of the action icons to generate a workflow, checking a syntax for the plurality of the arranged action icons and the plurality of the flow icons, the syntax being dependent on a corresponding action icon and graphically generating an alarm badge indicating a syntax error for a specific icon when the syntax error for the specific icon is found. Therefore, the method and apparatus may use a Hadoop framework to effectively manage a workflow for processing irregular big data.
