Hadoop

Hadoop is an open-source software framework designed for processing and storing large sets of data across multiple computers. It allows organizations to manage vast amounts of information efficiently by breaking it down into smaller pieces and distributing the workload. Hadoop consists of two main parts: Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS), which stores the data reliably, and MapReduce, which is a programming model that processes the data in parallel. This technology is widely used for big data analytics, enabling companies to gain insights from their data easily and cost-effectively.
