How do "Big Data" technologies store unstructured data?

I have been reading about Big Data technologies off late and gathered that Big data is the need of the hour because of the growing size of data and RDBMS's restriction to store only structured data and not the unstructured data coming from Facebook, RFID readers etc.

Can anybody please throw some light as to how this unstructured data is stored? We know structured data is stored in the form of tables. What about this unstructured data?

    Parameterised data storing can be easily done this process can club related data associated to a few keywords and thus they get pushed into tables for easier access

    Well Keywords in the sight of the compiler is always not the case with the human

    So this method is one way I can imagine But not sure about it's working

    Does it mean we are still going to store parameters (as you said) in tables for unstructured data??

    I am also new to this terminology.
    What I learned is processing Big Data is like mining Gold, you know that somewhere is 100gm of gold in tons of garbage.
    So you need to bring garbage in your backyard and assign a robot to start separating similar material in separate compartment.

    Storing Big data is also like same fashion, store as binary/blob and process it by automated and self learning system like Hadoop (open source and buzz word for data processing now a days).
    Correct me if I am going in wrong direction☕

    Here I found, could be good read: #-Link-Snipped-#
