SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the 3 V's of big data, specifically focusing on the concept of variety. Variety encompasses different formats, sources, and structures of data, including text, audio, and video files. Participants clarify that data structures are categorized into three types: structured, semi-structured, and unstructured. The distinction between the general concept of variety and the specific definition of data structures in computer science is emphasized, highlighting the potential for confusion in terminology.
