With the rapid development of China's sea observation technologies and data collection methods, we have an ever expanding amount of observed data with more and more complexity. Therefore, the traditional data storage and processing techniques cannot effectively manage and analyze the big ocean data. Meanwhile, the regionalization and the distribution of these data become an challenge for a unified data management, during the data mining process. From the perspective of the big data life cycle, this paper reviews the technical principles of the existing open source big data framework in areas of data acquisition, storage, processing, intelligent analysis, security protection and data governance, focusing on their applications for the big ocean data.
