Hadoop - Computation clusters at Scale
** Please note important information about: this meeting **
This presentation gives a brief high level overview of Apache Hadoop.
Hadoop is a Java software framework that supports data-intensive
distributed applications under a free license. It enables applications
to work with thousands of nodes and petabytes of data. Hadoop was
inspired by Google's MapReduce and Google File System (GFS) papers.
After the overview, we will delve into a with a practical example of
Hadoop solving a "big data" problem.
Finally we will discuss how the demonstrated Hadoop processing model
scales out to terabytes of data and hundreds or even thousands of
computers.
