Hadoop – The Small Application for Big Data

May 222012

Back in December 2011, data-intensive Linux users rejoiced as Apache Hadoop reached its 1.0.0 milestone. Setting a benchmark for distributed computing software, this wonderful little program is now into release 1.0.3 but what is Hadoop and how can you benefit from using it?

To succeed in this ever-shifting, increasingly complex domain, you need to master a daunting array of web performance, operations, and mobile performance issues. Speed or reliability is no longer an option; both are assumed. Your pages and services must be fast, reliable, secure, and unbreakable. Your infrastructure must be efficiently scalable. Massive amounts of data must be captured and stored, and it all must work efficiently, reliably, and elegantly on an ever-expanding array of devices.
