Apache Hadoop Ecosystem

Apache Hadoop Ecosystem

  • Hadoop HDFS - 2007 - A distributed file system for reliably storing huge amounts of unstructured, semi-structured and structured data in the form of files. 
  • Hadoop MapReduce - 2007 - A distributed algorithm framework for the parallel processing of large datasets on HDFS filesystem. It runs on Hadoop cluster but also supports other database formats like Cassandra and HBase. 
  • Cassandra - 2008 - A key-value pair NoSQL database, with column family data representation and asynchronous masterless replication. 
  • HBase - 2008 - A key-value pair NoSQL database, with column family data representation, with master-slave replication. It uses HDFS as underlying storage. 
  • Zookeeper - 2008 - A distributed coordination service for distributed applications. It is based on Paxos algorithm variant called Zab. 
  • Pig - 2009 - Pig is a scripting interface over MapReduce for developers who prefer scripting interface over native Java MapReduce programming. 
  • Hive - 2009 - Hive is a SQL interface over MapReduce for developers and analysts who prefer SQL interface over native Java MapReduce programming. 
  • Mahout - 2009 - A library of machine learning algorithms, implemented on top of MapReduce, for finding meaningful patterns in HDFS datasets. 
  • Sqoop - 2010 - A tool to import data from RDBMS/DataWarehouse into HDFS/HBase and export back. 
  • YARN - 2011 - A system to schedule applications and services on an HDFS cluster and manage the cluster resources like memory and CPU. 
  • Flume - 2011 - A tool to collect, aggregate, reliably move and ingest large amounts of data into HDFS. 
  • Storm - 2011 - A system to process high-velocity streaming data with 'at least once' message semantics. 
  • Spark - 2012 - An in-memory data processing engine that can run a DAG of operations. It provides libraries for Machine Learning, SQL interface and near real-time Stream Processing. 
  • Kafka - 2012 - A distributed messaging system with partitioned topics for very high scalability. 
  • SolrCloud - 2012 - A distributed search engine with a REST-like interface for full-text search. It uses Lucene library for data indexing.

Big Data After The Internet

Image
Till 1995 most of the people did not know about the internet. It was hard to use, till the Netscape browser arrived and its famous IPO happened. The arrival of Netscape meant anyone could create material and anyone with a connection could view it.
Internet's popularity resulted in mushrooming of websites like AOL, MSN, Yahoo, CNN, Napster and so many more. They provided free information sharing services like emails, chats, photograph sharing, video sharing, blogging, news, weather, music, games etc. These sites were generating, collecting and sharing an enormous amount of data, for the people all over the globe. There were, of course, new generation e-commerce companies like Amazon and eBay that also contributed to the overall information available, but sharing of information was not at the core of their strategy.  
Why this phenomenon of information sharing noteworthy? There are two good reasons: 
The data on the Internet was freely available to everyone on the Internet. It was no l…

Big Data Before The Internet

Image
The term ‘Big Data’ was used for the first time in a scientific journal published by NASA, back in 1997 “Visualisation provides an interesting challenge for computer systems: data sets are generally quite large, taxing the capacities of main memory, local disk, and even remote disk. We call this the problem of big data. When data sets do not fit in main memory (in core), or when they do not fit even on local disk, the most common solution is to acquire more resources.” [1][2]. This was ‘Big Data’ in 1997 which is different from ‘Big Data’ of current times, but the fundamental problem of our ability to scale remains the same. Conceptually, ‘Big Data’ is the data that is beyond the storage and processing power of current systems. It is a moving target. The purpose of this post is to go over this particular aspect of data engineering called Big Data, focusing on big architectural improvements in data management systems.
The genesis of Internet dates back as early as the 1960s - 1970s in t…
