The term “Realtime” in the context of data processing is controversial. Discuss why it might be considered controversial and how there may be other terms that are more technically accurate.

Discuss a use case in an organization that would require both batch and realtime data processing. When and why are both needed for this specific use case?

1. Discuss when and why organizations may consider open source technologies for data processing vs. vendor-supplied tooling.
