Description: Batch data refers to a data processing approach where information is grouped and processed in sets or batches, rather than being processed continuously or in real-time. This method is particularly useful for handling large volumes of data that do not require an immediate response. In the context of data processing systems, batch processing allows users to perform complex analyses and transformations on large datasets efficiently. Data is collected over a specific period and then processed all at once, which can result in more efficient use of computational resources. This approach is ideal for tasks such as report generation, trend analysis, and historical data processing, where latency is not a critical factor. Although batch processing may seem less agile than real-time processing, it remains a fundamental technique in modern data architecture, especially when combined with technologies that enable the integration of real-time and batch data.
