A brief introduction to Apache Hadoop

The technology known as Apache Hadoop is an open-source framework for developing distributed applications hosted by the Apache Software Foundation. The framework contains a number of subprojects. The one we are interested in is the Hadoop Core, also known as Hadoop Common.

The Hadoop Common project is located within the overall Hadoop framework. It allows the development of cloud computing environments via off-the-shelf hardware such as the Raspberry Pi. The developer interacts with it by using its Java based API.

Within Hadoop Common there are several significant areas that help us achieve our goal of developing parallel computing applications. Two of the most important areas are as follows:

  • Hadoop MapReduce environment

  • Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS)

In this chapter both subjects will be touched upon during the installation and setup process and Chapter 5, MapReduce Applications with Hadoop and Java,provides an in-depth look at the HDFS and MapReduce...
