Big Data

See big-data.md

Data Validation

Start by validating data formats for correctness.

Scripts for this can be found in both the DevOps-Python-tools and DevOps-Bash-tools repos.

Then proceed to more advanced content validation.

Data Generation

'Faker' libraries are available in many languages inspired by the original Perl library.

Perl version: https://metacpan.org/dist/Data-Faker

Java version: DiUS/java-faker

Python version joke2k/faker - comes with a faker command convenient for shell scripts:

Generate 10 fake addresses:

faker -r 10 address
