I dont think OP is wrong -- the role popped up after 2007 Hadoop release. It was almost synonymous with running ML on big data and data scientists were typically computer science PhDs. It has become something quite different though. Now everyone and their dog is a data scientist.
- jstx1 4y agoBig data and data science became popular terms around the same time, doesn't mean that one implies the other like the GP comment suggested. Big data isn't a concern for most working data scientists today - not all datasets are that big, even cheap machines are very powerful and in the cases when you are working at huge scale a lot of the complexity is abstracted away from the data science work anyway.
