Hadoop

Today I start a small experiment of mine. I'll randomly read a new tech world word that I didn't know before or that I just heard but never looked up. Hadoop
  • Named after an elephant toy, built using Java ( the software not the toy :) )
  • An Apache project for working with huge/massive amounts of data.
  • Yahoo is one of the biggest contributors.
  • Uses a distributed architecture.
  • Inspired by Google File System and Google MapReduce. <- don't know what these are.
