Abstract: One of the genuine uses of future time parallel and scattered structures is in colossal data examination. Data storage facilities for such applications at present outperform exabyte and are rapidly growing in size. Past their sheer size these datasets and related application’s considerations act vital troubles for system and programming change. Meta-heuristic procedures improve the big data processing procedures by using the explorative and also the exploit seek. The effective execution of the big data processing can be accomplished by utilizing the meta-heuristic paradigms. This study concentrates the big data investigation and the part of the meta-heuristic procedures in handling of big data. The study likewise concentrates diverse existing meta-heuristic methods.
