Preparing and cleaning data is notoriously expensive, prone to error, and time consuming: the process accounts for roughly 80% of the total time spent on analysis. As this O’Reilly report points out, enterprises have already invested billions of dollars in big data analytics, so there’s great incentive to modernize methods for cleaning, combining, and transforming data.
