Hadoop is an open-source, Java-based implementation of Googles MapReduce framework. Hadoop is designed for any application which can take advantage of massively parallel distributed-processing, particularly with clusters composed of unreliable hardware. Hadoop provides a framework to process data of this size using a computing cluster made from normal, commodity hardware. There are two major components to Hadoop: the file system, which is a distributed file system that splits up large files onto multiple computers, and the MapReduce framework, which is an application framework used to process large data stored on the file system.
