SQL-on-Hadoop

SQL-on-Hadoop is a technology that allows users to run standard SQL queries on large datasets stored in Hadoop, a platform for big data storage. Think of it as a bridge that lets data analysts and developers use familiar SQL commands to analyze massive amounts of data without needing specialized programming skills. It enables efficient, scalable data processing by combining the ease of SQL with Hadoop’s ability to handle vast, complex datasets, making it easier for organizations to extract valuable insights from their big data efficiently.
