Keeping an Eye on Apache Hadoop
Apache Hadoop is rapidly gaining traction as a platform for large-scale distributed computing. Numerous stsrtups and an increasing number of large enterprises are embracing the open-source framework. Apache Hadoop supports distributed processing of large data sets across clusters of computers using a simple programming model. Apache Hadoop is designed from the ground up to scale up from a single computer to thousands of servers, each offering local computation and storage. Rather than rely on hardware to deliver high-availability, the framework is designed to detect and handle failures through software at the application layer. Learn more about Apache Hadoop here.
