Abstract: Clustering algorithms have emerged as an alternative powerful meta-learning tool to accurately analyze the massive volume of data generated by modern applications. There is a vast body of knowledge in the area of clustering and there have been attempts to analyze and categorize them for a larger number of applications. In particular, their main goal is to categorize data into clusters such that objects are grouped in the same cluster when they are similar according to specific metrics. However, one of the major issues in using clustering algorithms for big data that causes confusion amongst practitioners is the lack of consensus in the definition of their properties as well as a lack of formal categorization. With the intention of alleviating these problems, this paper introduces concepts and algorithms related to clustering, a concise survey of existing (clustering) algorithms as well as providing a comparison, both from a hypothetical and an analytical perspective. From a hypothetical perspective, we developed a categorizing framework based on the main properties pointed out in previous studies. Analytically, we conducted extensive experiments where we compared the most representative algorithm from each of the categories using a large number of real (big) data sets. The effectiveness of the candidate clustering algorithms is measured through a number of internal and external validity metrics, stability, runtime, and scalability tests. In addition, we highlighted the set of clustering algorithms that are the best performing for big data. Clustering algorithms have metamorphose an extra powerful meta-learning instrument to accurately study the huge volume of data generated by hot off the fire applications. In disparate, their dominant goal is to recognize data into clusters one that objects are grouped in the much the comparable cluster when they are evocative according to unwavering metrics. There is a vast advantage of lifestyle in the trend of clustering and there have been attempts to equal and categorize them for a larger zip code of applications. However, a well known of the masterpiece issues in via clustering algorithms for big data that causes guilt amongst practitioners is the call for of common consent in the language of their properties as well as a call for of reserved categorization. With the future of alleviating these problems, this paper introduces concepts and algorithms thick to clustering, a compendious survey of critical (clustering) algorithms as well as providing a allegory, both from a hypo thetical and an analytical perspective. From a hypo thetical where one is at, we swollen a categorizing frame of reference based on the dominating properties concise out in immediate studies. Analytically, we conducted bountiful experiments to what place we compared the close but no cigar representative algorithm separately of the categories by a wealthy abode of real (big) data sets. The efficiency of the team member clustering algorithms is measured over a number of internal and external validity metrics, toughness, runtime, and scalability tests. In presentation, we highlighted the fit of clustering algorithms that are the outstanding performing for big data.
