Explanation

As illustrated in the figure, today’s big data possesses three important characteristics: data in large volume, demanding high velocity to process them, and many varieties of data types.  These are often known as the five V’s of big data, because some people add two more V’s of big data: one is the veracity, which refers to the difficulty to trace data or predict data. The other is the data value, which can vary drastically if the data are handled differently.
