Prem Chand Mali of Mindfire Solutions gave a presentation on Apache Hadoop. The presentation introduced Hadoop, describing its history and key components including HDFS and MapReduce. HDFS is Hadoop's distributed file system using NameNodes and DataNodes to store data across commodity hardware. MapReduce provides a programming model for distributed processing of large datasets using a Map and Reduce workflow. The presentation provided overviews of HDFS and MapReduce to explain how Hadoop supports scalable, fault-tolerant distributed computing.
