Description

Apache Hadoop is an open-source software platform for storing and processing large datasets across distributed computing clusters. It is designed to handle large-scale data processing and analysis, allowing organizations to quickly and easily process massive amounts of data. Apache Hadoop is composed of multiple modules, including the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS), which provides a distributed file system for storing and managing large datasets; the MapReduce framework for parallel data processing; the YARN resource management platform for scheduling and managing jobs; and the Hadoop Common library, which provides utilities and libraries for other Hadoop-related projects. Apache Hadoop can be used to develop applications that process large amounts of data, such as data warehouses, online analytical processing (OLAP) systems, and machine learning algorithms. It can also be used to process streaming data from sources such as web logs and sensor data.
