Apache Hadoop and Hadoop Ecosystem

Hadoop is a framework written in Java for running applications on large clusters of commodity hardware and incorporates features similar to those of the Google File System (GFS) and of the Map Reduce computing paradigm. Hadoop’s HDFS is a highly fault-tolerant distributed file system and, like Hadoop in general, designed to be deployed on low-cost hardware. It provides high throughput access to application data and is suitable for applications that have large data sets. Hadoop is best known for Map/Reduce and its distributed file system (HDFS, renamed from NDFS), the term is also used for a family of related projects that fall under the umbrella of infrastructure for distributed computing and large-scale data processing.

Some of the Hadoop projects we will talk about are:

• HDFS : A distributed filesystem that runs on large clusters of commodity machines.
• Map Reduce: A distributed data processing model…
