    Study Notes

    Introduction to Hadoop Ecosystem

    • Big data is the massive amount of data generated rapidly in various formats.
    • Traditional systems are not suitable for storing and handling big data.
    • Hadoop is a complex framework of multiple components needed to manage big data.
    • Hadoop's components work together to overcome limitations of traditional systems.
    • Understanding each component within Hadoop can be challenging.

    Problems with Traditional Systems

    • Today's data is often semi-structured or unstructured.
    • Traditional systems are designed for structured data (rows and columns).
    • Vertically scaling traditional systems is expensive (adding more processing, memory, and storage).
    • Data is often stored in silos, making pattern analysis difficult.

    Solution: Hadoop

    • Hadoop addresses the drawbacks of traditional systems.
    • Google File System (GFS) was a precursor that inspired Hadoop.
    • Hadoop is an open-source framework.
    • Data is stored and processed in a distributed environment across multiple machines.

    Hadoop Properties

    • Highly scalable, handling data in a distributed manner.
    • Horizontal scaling instead of vertical scaling (cost-effective).
    • Fault-tolerant through data replication.
    • Economical, using commodity hardware.
    • Data locality (data processed where it's stored).

    Hadoop Ecosystem Components

    • HDFS (Hadoop Distributed File System): Stores data as files.
    • Files are split into blocks (128MB) and distributed across cluster machines.
    • Master-slave architecture (NameNode and DataNode).

    MapReduce

    • Hadoop's core algorithm for handling big data.
    • Divides a large task into smaller tasks.
    • Distributes tasks across multiple machines.
    • Processes tasks in parallel.
    • Map and Reduce phases form the basis of MapReduce, a distributed computing model.

    YARN (Yet Another Resource Negotiator)

    • Manages resources in a Hadoop cluster.
    • Enables various data processing engines.
    • Increases efficiency by allowing multiple applications to use cluster resources efficiently.

    Other Ecosystem Components

    • HBase: Column-based NoSQL database, optimized for high volume data and real-time interactions
    • Hive: Distributed data warehouse system with a SQL-like query language.
    • Pig: Data analysis tool that allows writing scripts to perform data transformations in a simplified way that translates to MapReduce jobs.
    • Sqoop: Transfers data between relational databases and Hadoop.
    • Flume: Collects, aggregates, and moves large amounts of data into Hadoop.
    • Kafka: Facilitates the flow of data from data producers to consumers.
    • Oozie: A workflow scheduler system.
    • ZooKeeper: Distributed synchronization service.

    Spark

    • Alternative framework to Hadoop.
    • In-memory processing for faster performance.
    • Supports real-time processing in addition to batch processing.
    • Several ecosystem components build on Spark core such as Spark SQL, streaming APIs, MLlib, and GraphX.

    Big Data Processing Stages

    • Ingestion (collecting and loading data)
    • Storage (storing data in HDFS or other systems)
    • Processing (transforming and cleaning data)
    • Analysis (extracting knowledge/insights from data)
