In big data era, data is flooding in at unparalleled, inflexible rate making collection and processing of data a bit hard and unmanageable without using appropriate data handling tools. Selecting the correct tool to meet the current as well as future requirement is a heavy task, and it became more strenuous with lack of awareness of all the available tools of this area. With right tools, one can rapidly fetch, import, process, clean, filter, store, and export data from variety of sources with different frequency as well as capacity of data generation. A comprehensive survey and comparative study of performance, merits, demerits, usage of various ingestion tools in existence for frequent data ingestion activities (keeping volume, variety, velocity, and veracity in mind) have been presented in this paper.
