Apache Hadoop is an open-source framework that allows for the distributed processing of large datasets. It is widely used for big data processing, with users ranging from small organizations to large enterprises. Its popularity stems from its ability to process and store large amounts of data, making it ideal for big data processing.<\/p>\n

In this tutorial, you will learn the basics of Apache Hadoop, its architecture, how to install and configure Apache Hadoop on a cluster, and how to process data using Hadoop.<\/p>\n

Apache Hadoop Architecture<\/h2>\n

Apache Hadoop comprises two primary components; Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) and MapReduce. HDFS is a distributed file system that provides fault-tolerance, high-throughput access to data, and supports large-scale data processing. MapReduce is a distributed data processing system that allows parallel processing across numerous nodes in a cluster.<\/p>\n

HDFS consists of NameNodes and DataNodes. The NameNode tracks the location of data stored in a cluster and manages block replication, while DataNodes are responsible for storing data and handling client read and write requests.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, MapReduce splits data into smaller segments and distributes it to multiple worker nodes in a cluster. Each worker node processes their data segments independently, and the results are combined to produce the final output.<\/p>\n

Installing and Configuring Hadoop<\/h2>\n

Before you can start working with Hadoop, you must first install and configure it on your local machine or cluster.<\/p>\n
