Hadoop

Hadoop is an open-source framework that facilitates the storage and processing of large datasets in a distributed computing environment. It is designed to handle vast amounts of data across clusters of computers using simple programming models. The main characteristics of Hadoop include its scalability, fault tolerance, and high throughput. Common use cases for Hadoop include big data analytics, data warehousing, and processing large-scale data for machine learning applications. By leveraging its distributed architecture, organizations can efficiently process and analyze data that exceeds the capacity of traditional databases.
