Learn the Widely-Used Hadoop Framework

Apache Hadoop is an open-source software framework for storage and large-scale processing of data-sets on clusters of commodity hardware. Hadoop is an Apache top-level project being built and used by a global community of contributors and users. It is licensed under the Apache License 2.0.

All the modules in Hadoop are designed with a fundamental assumption that hardware failures (of individual machines, or racks of machines) are common and thus should be automatically handled in software by the framework. Apache Hadoop's MapReduce and HDFS components originally derived respectively from Google's MapReduce and Google File System (GFS) papers.

Who are using Hadoop for data-driven applications?

You will be surprised to know that many companies have adopted to use Hadoop already. Companies like Alibaba, Ebay, Facebook, LinkedIn, Yahoo! is using this proven technology to harvest its data, discover insights and empower their different applications!
