Overview With the almost unfathomable increase in web traffic over recent years, driven by millions of connected users, businesses are gaining access to massive amounts of complex, unstructured data from which to gain insight. When Hadoop was introduced by Yahoo in 2007, it brought with it a paradigm shift in how this data was stored and analyzed. Hadoop allowed small- and medium-sized companies to store huge amounts of data on cheap commodity servers in racks. This data could thus be processed and used to make business decisions that were supported by ‘Big Data’. Hadoop is now implemented in major organizations such as Amazon, IBM, Cloudera, and Dell to name a few. This book introduces you to Hadoop and to concepts such as MapReduce, Rack Awareness, YARN, and HDFS Federation, which will help you get acquainted with the technology.
Hadoop Explained Understanding Big Data A lot of organizations used to have structured databases on which data processing would be implemented. The data was limited and maintained in a systematic manner using database management systems (think RDBMS). When Google developed its search engine, it was compounded with the task of maintaining a large amount of data, as the web pages used to get updated on a regular basis. A lot of information had to be stored in the database, and most of the data was in an unstructured format. Video, audio, and web logs resulted in a humongous amount of data. The Google search engine is an amazing tool that users can use to search for the information they need with a lot of ease. Research on data can determine the user preferences which can be used to increase the customer base as well as customer satisfaction. An example of that would be the advertisements found on Google. As we all know, Facebook is widely used today, and the users upload a lot of content in the form of videos and other posts. Hence, a lot of data had to be managed quickly. With the advent of social networking applications, the amount of data to be stored increased day by day and so did the rate of increase. Another example would be financial institutions. Financial institutions target customers by the data at their disposal, which shows the trends in the market. They can also determine user preferences by their transaction history. Online portals also help to determine the purchase history of the customers, and based on the pattern, they gauge the need of the customers, thereby customizing the portals according to the market trend. Hence, data is very crucial, and the increase in data at a rapid pace is of significant importance. This is how the concept of Big Data came into existence.
