Hadoop is a free, Java-based programming framework that supports the processing of large data sets in a parallel distributed computing environment. It is part of the Apache project sponsored by the Apache Software Foundation. Hadoop makes it possible to run applications on systems with thousands of nodes involving thousands of terabytes of data which is not feasible with traditional systems.
Today we live in a DATA world. Anything and everything that we do in the internet is becoming a source of business information for the organizations across the globe. The world has seen an exponential growth of data in the last decade or so and more so since last 3 years. Hence, the industry has started to look out for the ways to handle the data and get some business value out of it through data analytics. One such jail-break is “HADOOP”.
