Introduction

Embarking on my Big Data journey with insightful program, I’ve dived into the vast ocean of Hadoop. Let me walk you through the key takeaways that have shaped my understanding of this game-changing technology.

Understanding Hadoop:

At its core, Hadoop comprises three pivotal components:

HDFS (Hadoop Distributed File System),
MapReduce, and
YARN (Yet Another Resource Negotiator).

These components synergize to create a robust framework for distributed storage, processing, and resource management.

• HDFS: The backbone of Hadoop, providing a scalable and reliable distributed file system.
• MapReduce: A distributed processing paradigm, although considered obsolete now due to its redundancy in code.
• YARN: Stands as the Resource Manager, efficiently negotiating resources across the Hadoop cluster.

Hadoop Ecosystem Components:

Diving deeper into the Hadoop ecosystem, several components play specialized roles.
