How to Use Hadoop as a Piece of the Big Data Puzzle
August 30, 2016 by Leave a Comment
Organizations are embracing Hadoop for several notable merits:
• Hadoop is distributed. Bringing a high-tech twist to the adage, “Many hands make light work,” data is stored on local disks of a distributed cluster of servers.
• Hadoop runs on commodity hardware. Based on the average cost per terabyte of compute capacity of a prepackaged system, Hadoop is easily 10 times cheaper for comparable computing capacity compared to higher-cost specialized hardware.
• Hadoop is fault-tolerant. Hardware failure is expected and is mitigated by data replication and speculative processing. If capacity is available, Hadoop runs multiple copies of the same task, accepting the results from the task that finishes first. To learn more read this white paper.
