BIG DATA ANALYTICS BROKERAGE

In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes receiving a query. A target confidence level is established for the query, the target confidence level representing a requested level of accuracy for a result of the query. At least one individual confidence level is assigned to each of a plurality of analytics engines. One or more analytics engines are queried based on the query. A group of the analytics engines are selected, by a computer processor, where the analytics engines in the selected group have query responses to the query that are deemed to be similar to one another, and where the selection of the selected group is at least partially based on the target confidence level. The query responses from the selected group of analytics engines are summarized into a final result, where the final result is an answer to the query.
