Study Notes

IBM Added Value Components

IBM offers added value components for handling big data using Hadoop.
Components include Db2 Big SQL, Big Replicate, Information Server - BigIntegrate, and Information Server - BigQuality.
Db2 Big SQL allows SQL queries on Hadoop data.
Big Replicate supports replication of data.
BigIntegrate ingests, transforms, processes, and delivers data within Hadoop.
BigQuality analyzes, cleanses, and monitors big data.

IBM InfoSphere Big Match for Hadoop

IBM InfoSphere Big Match for Hadoop is a tool for Hadoop data analysis.

Hadoop Introduction

A new approach is needed to process big data, which necessitates specific requirements.
Hadoop is an open-source framework designed for processing large volumes of data.
Key characteristics of Hadoop include its ability to handle large and growing data, its varied usage, and core components.
The two main Hadoop components are discussed further.

Hadoop Infrastructure

Hadoop infrastructure is designed to handle large and constantly growing datasets.
This contrasts with traditional RDBMS (Relational Database Management Systems).
A different, more scalable approach is needed for big data.

Apache Hadoop Core Components

A detailed description of the core components of Apache Hadoop is available, though not included in the provided text.
