The corrupt data validation and cleansing design pattern

This design pattern discusses data corruption from the perspective of the corrupt data being treated as a noise or as an outlier. The techniques to identify and cleanse the corrupt data are discussed in detail.

This design pattern explores the usage of Pig to validate and cleanse corrupt data from a dataset. It tries to set the context of data corruption from various sources of Big Data ranging from sensor to structured data.
