Study Notes

Scalability

  • In vertical scalability, you increase the capacity of a single system by adding more resources.
  • In horizontal scalability, you add new nodes to the cluster and increase the network length.

Distributed Systems

  • A hardware component failure in a distributed system only reduces capacity, but the overall system remains working.
  • Distributed systems use a cluster of computers.
  • They are scalable and can handle hardware failures, offering greater availability.
  • They can start small and add more computers to the cluster as the business grows.

Monolithic Systems

  • Monolithic systems are difficult and time-consuming to scale.

Hadoop Platform

  • Hadoop was developed to solve Big Data problems.
  • It was designed and developed in an open-source environment.
  • The core platform layer offers three capabilities: distributed cluster formation, data storage and retrieval on the distributed cluster, and distributed data processing using MapReduce programming language.
  • Hadoop was developed as an operating system of a distributed cluster.
