- Advancements in hardware and software technologies (e.g., cloud computing, Hadoop, Spark)
- Need for data-driven decision-making, innovation, and personalization in various domains
Hadoop vs Traditional Systems
- Hadoop is an open-source software framework used for storing data and running applications on a group of commodity hardware.
- Hadoop is better suited for big data environments where there is a need to process large volumes of diverse data.
- Traditional systems (e.g., RDBMS) are more appropriate for environments that require high data integrity and are dealing primarily with structured data.
- Comparison of Hadoop and traditional systems:
- Hadoop:
- Purpose: Designed to handle large volumes of structured and unstructured data
- Scalability: Highly scalable
- Data Processing: Can process both structured and unstructured data efficiently
- Cost: Generally cost-effective
- Flexibility: Supports multiple analytical processes on the same data simultaneously
- Data Schema: Dynamic
- Integrity: Lower data integrity
- Traditional Systems (RDBMS):
- Purpose: Primarily used for structured data storage, manipulation, and retrieval
- Scalability: Less scalable
- Data Processing: Best suited for structured data and OLTP environments
- Cost: Can be expensive
- Flexibility: Less flexible
- Data Schema: Static
- Integrity: High data integrity
- Hadoop:

Attributes of Big Data
- The five V's of Big Data:
- Volume: Large amounts of data generated from various sources
- Variety: Structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data
- Velocity: Speed at which data is created and processed
- Veracity: Reliability of data
- Value: Value of data in terms of insights and decision-making
Types of Data
- Big data can be categorized into:
- Structured data (e.g., names, dates, addresses)
- Semi-structured data (e.g., JSON, XML, CSV, TSV)
- Unstructured data (e.g., images, audio files, videos)
- Quasi-structured data (e.g., web server logs)
Other Technologies vs Big Data
- Big data interacts with various other technologies, each with its own unique focus and capabilities:
- Data analytics
- Cloud computing
- Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML)
- Internet of Things (IoT)
- Business intelligence (BI)
- Blockchain
Hadoop Architecture and HDFS
- Hadoop is a framework written in Java that utilizes a large cluster of commodity hardware to maintain and store big data.
- Components of Hadoop:
- Name Node (NN)
- Job Tracker (JT)
- Secondary Name Node (SNN)
- Data Node (DN)
- Task Tracker (TT)
- Process of Hadoop:
- Client provides job request to Hadoop
- Job request is accepted by Name Node
- Job is divided into tasks and provided to Data Node
- Data Node performs tasks and communicates with Job Tracker
- Architecture of Hadoop:
- Name Node: Master of HDFS, contains job tracker
- Data Node: Slave of HDFS, takes client block address from Name Node
- Job Tracker: Determines files to process, runs on server as master node### Hadoop Architecture
- Hadoop is a framework that utilizes a large cluster of commodity hardware to maintain and store big data.
- Hadoop works on MapReduce Programming Algorithm that was introduced by Google.
- Hadoop Architecture mainly consists of 4 components:
- MapReduce
- HDFS (Hadoop Distributed File System)
- YARN (Yet Another Resource Negotiator)
- Common Utilities or Hadoop Common
HDFS (Hadoop Distributed File System)
- HDFS is a primary component of Hadoop ecosystem and is responsible for storing large data sets of structured and unstructured data across various nodes.
- HDFS consists of two more components:
- Name Node (Master)
- Data Node (Slave)
Name Node (Master)
- It is the master of HDFS.
- It has a job tracker that keeps track of files distributed to data nodes.
- It is only a single point of failure.
Data Node (Slave)
- It is a slave of HDFS.
- It takes client block address from Name Node.
- For replication purposes, it can communicate with other name nodes.
- Data node informs local changes/updates to Name node.
Task Tracker
- There is a single task tracker per slave node.
- It may handle multiple tasks parallelly.
- Individual tasks are assigned by job tracker to task tracker.
- Job tracker continuously communicates with task tracker, and if it fails to reply, it assumes that the task tracker has crashed.
Secondary Name Node (SNN)
- State monitoring is done by SNN.
- Every cluster has one SNN.
- SNN resides on its own machine.
- On that machine or server, no other daemon (DN or TT) can work.
- SNN takes a snapshot of HDFS metadata at constant intervals.
YARN (Yet Another Resource Negotiator)
- YARN helps to manage resources across clusters.
- YARN consists of three major components:
- Resource Manager
- Node Manager
- Application Manager
Resource Manager
- It has the privilege of allocating resources for the application in the system.
Node Manager
- It works on allocation of resources such as CPU, memory, bandwidth per machine, and later on acknowledges Resource Manager.
Application Manager
- It works as an interface between Resource Manager and Node Manager and performs negotiations as per requirement of two.
Map Reduce
- Map Reduce makes it possible to carry over the processing's logic and helps to write applications that transform big data sets into manageable ones.
- Map Reduce uses two functions Map() and Reduce() whose task is:
- Map() performs sorting and filtering of data, thereby organizing them in form of group. Map generates a Key-value pair-based result which is later on processed by Reduce() method.
- Reduce() as the name suggests does the summarization by aggregating mapped data. In simple terms, Reduce() takes output generated by Map() as input and combines those tuples into a smaller set of tuples.
Hadoop Common and Common Architecture
- Hadoop Common and Common Architecture are nothing but our Java library and Java files or we can say the Java scripts that we need for all other components present in Hadoop Clusters.
- Hadoop Common verifies that hardware failure in a Hadoop cluster is common, so it needs to be solved automatically in software by Hadoop Framework.
Features and Advantages of Hadoop
- Features of Hadoop:
- Open source
- Highly Scalable cluster
- Fault tolerance
- Easy to use
- Data locality
- Cost-Effective
- Advantages of Hadoop:
- Storage and Processing
- Data Locality
- High Throughput
- Resilience to Failure
- Open Source
HDFS (Hadoop Distributed File System)
- HDFS is a distributed file system that handles large data sets running on commodity hardware.
- It is used to scale a single Apache Hadoop Cluster to hundreds (and even thousands) of nodes.
Features of HDFS
- Easy access to files stored in HDFS
- High availability and fault tolerance
- Scalability to scale up or scale down nodes as per our requirement
- Data is stored in a distributed manner, i.e., various Data nodes are responsible for storing the data
- HDFS provides Replication because of which no fear of Data Loss
- HDFS Provides High Reliability as it can store data in a large range of Petabytes
- HDFS has in-built servers in Name node and Data Node that help them to easily retrieve the cluster information
- Provides high throughput
