Apache Hadoop
A software framework for distributed storage that facilitates using a network of many computers to solve problems involving massive amounts of data and computation using MapReduce programming model
&
| + | Distributed Computing | Hadoop enables the processing of large data sets across clusters of computers. |
|---|---|---|
| + | Scalability | It can scale from single servers to thousands of machines. |
| + | Storage | Offers local computation and storage capabilities. |
| + | Programming Model | Utilizes simple programming models for distributed data processing. |
| + | Fault Tolerance | Designed to handle failures at the application layer. |
| + | HDFS | High-throughput access to application data via the Hadoop Distributed File System. |
| + | YARN | Short for “Yet Another Resource Navigator”; Manages resources and job scheduling across the cluster. |
| + | MapReduce | A system for parallel processing of large data sets within the YARN framework. |
| - | Complex Setup | Intricate setup process, particularly challenging for beginners. |
| - | Batch Processing | Slower batch-processing model compared to alternatives like Apache Spark. |
| - | No Real-Time Processing | Absence of support for real-time data processing |
| - | High Latency | Elevated latency stemming from batch processing |
| - | Single Point of Failure | Vulnerability due to reliance on a single master node |
| - | Data Locality Constraints | Difficulties in ensuring data locality |
| - | Scalability Challenges | Complications associated with scaling Hadoop clusters |
| - | Resource-Intensive | Significant hardware resources required for operation |
