- Big data refers to large sets of data that businesses and organizations collect, while Hadoop is a tool designed to handle big data. Hadoop uses MapReduce, which maps large datasets and then reduces the results for specific queries.
- Hadoop jobs run under five main daemons: the NameNode, DataNode, Secondary NameNode, JobTracker, and TaskTracker.
- HDFS is Hadoop's distributed file system that stores very large amounts of data across clusters. It replicates data blocks for reliability and provides clients high-throughput access to files.
Big Data raises challenges about how to process such vast pool of raw data and how to aggregate value to our lives. For addressing these demands an ecosystem of tools named Hadoop was conceived.
The Apache Hadoop software library is a framework that allows for the distributed processing of large data sets across clusters of computers using a simple programming model. It is designed to scale up from single servers to thousands of machines, each offering local computation and storage. Rather than rely on hardware to deliver high-avaiability, the library itself is designed to detect and handle failures at the application layer, so delivering a highly-availabile service on top of a cluster of computers, each of which may be prone to failures.

The data management industry has matured over the last three decades, primarily based on relational database management system(RDBMS) technology. Since the amount of data collected, and analyzed in enterprises has increased several folds in volume, variety and velocityof generation and consumption, organisations have started struggling with architectural limitations of traditional RDBMS architecture. As a result a new class of systems had to be designed and implemented, giving rise to the new phenomenon of “Big Data”. In this paper we will trace the origin of new class of system called Hadoop to handle Big data.

Harnessing Hadoop: Understanding the Big Data Processing Options for Optimizi...Cognizant
A guide to using Apache Hadoop as your open source big data platform of choice, including the vendors that make various Hadoop flavors, related open source tools, Hadoop capabilities and suitable applications.
One of the challenges in storing and processing the data and using the latest internet technologies has resulted in large volumes of data. The technique to manage this massive amount of data and to pull out the value, out of this volume is collectively called Big data. Over the recent years, there has been a rising interest in big data for social media analysis. Online social media have become the important platform across the world to share information. Facebook, one of the largest social media site receives posts in millions every day. One of the efficient technologies that deal with the Big Data is Hadoop. Hadoop, for processing large data volume jobs uses MapReduce programming model. This paper provides a survey on Hadoop and its role in facebook and a brief introduction to HIVE.
Introduction to Big Data and Hadoop using Local Standalone Modeinventionjournals
Big Data is a term defined for data sets that are extreme and complex where traditional data processing applications are inadequate to deal with them. The term Big Data often refers simply to the use of predictive investigation on analytic methods that extract value from data. Big data is generalized as a large data which is a collection of big datasets that cannot be processed using traditional computing techniques. Big data is not purely a data, rather than it is a complete subject involves various tools, techniques and frameworks. Big data can be any structured collection which results incapability of conventional data management methods. Hadoop is a distributed example used to change the large amount of data. This manipulation contains not only storage as well as processing on the data. Hadoop is an open- source software framework for dispersed storage and processing of big data sets on computer clusters built from commodity hardware. HDFS was built to support high throughput, streaming reads and writes of extremely large files. Hadoop Map Reduce is a software framework for easily writing applications which process vast amounts of data. Wordcount example reads text files and counts how often words occur. The input is text files and the result is wordcount file, each line of which contains a word and the count of how often it occurred separated by a tab.
Discuss the advantages of Hadoop technology and distributed data fil.pdfarhamgarmentsdelhi
Discuss the advantages of Hadoop technology and distributed data file systems. How is an
Hadoop Distributed File System different from a Relational Database system? What
organizational issues are best solved using Hadoop technology? Give examples of the type of
data they will analyze. What companies currently use Hadoopo related technologies.
Solution
The advantages of Hadoop technology
1. Scalable
Hadoop is a highly scalable storage platform, because it can store and distribute very large data
sets across hundreds of inexpensive servers that operate in parallel. Unlike traditional relational
database systems (RDBMS) that can\'t scale to process large amounts of data, Hadoop enables
businesses to run applications on thousands of nodes involving thousands of terabytes of data.
2. Cost effective
Hadoop also offers a cost effective storage solution for businesses\' exploding data sets. The
problem with traditional relational database management systems is that it is extremely cost
prohibitive to scale to such a degree in order to process such massive volumes of data. In an
effort to reduce costs, many companies in the past would have had to down-sample data and
classify it based on certain assumptions as to which data was the most valuable. The raw data
would be deleted, as it would be too cost-prohibitive to keep. While this approach may have
worked in the short term, this meant that when business priorities changed, the complete raw
data set was not available, as it was too expensive to store. Hadoop, on the other hand, is
designed as a scale-out architecture that can affordably store all of a company\'s data for later
use. The cost savings are staggering: instead of costing thousands to tens of thousands of pounds
per terabyte, Hadoop offers computing and storage capabilities for hundreds of pounds per
terabyte.
3. Flexible
Hadoop enables businesses to easily access new data sources and tap into different types of data
(both structured and unstructured) to generate value from that data. This means businesses can
use Hadoop to derive valuable business insights from data sources such as social media, email
conversations or clickstream data. In addition, Hadoop can be used for a wide variety of
purposes, such as log processing, recommendation systems, data warehousing, market campaign
analysis and fraud detection.
4. Fast
Hadoop\'s unique storage method is based on a distributed file system that basically \'maps\' data
wherever it is located on a cluster. The tools for data processing are often on the same servers
where the data is located, resulting in much faster data processing. If you\'re dealing with large
volumes of unstructured data, Hadoop is able to efficiently process terabytes of data in just
minutes, and petabytes in hours.
5. Resilient to failure
A key advantage of using Hadoop is its fault tolerance. When data is sent to an individual node,
that data is also replicated to other nodes in the cluster, which means that in the event of.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. Big Data Vs Hadoop
Big data is simply the large sets of data that businesses and other parties put together to
serve specific goals and operations. Big data can include many different kinds of data in
many different kinds of formats.
For example, businesses might put a lot of work into collecting thousands of pieces of data
on purchases in currency formats, on customer identifiers like name or Social Security
number, or on product information in the form of model numbers, sales numbers or
inventory numbers.
All of this, or any other large mass of information, can be called big data. As a rule, it’s raw
and unsorted until it is put through various kinds of tools and handlers.
Hadoop is one of the tools designed to handle big data. Hadoop and other software
products work to interpret or parse the results of big data searches through specific
proprietary algorithms and methods.
Hadoop is an open-source program under the Apache license that is maintained by a global
community of users. It includes various main components, including a Map Reduce set of
functions and a Hadoop distributed file system (HDFS).
3. The idea behind Map Reduce is that Hadoop can first map a large data set, and then
perform a reduction on that content for specific results.
A reduce function can be thought of as a kind of filter for raw data. The HDFS system then
acts to distribute data across a network or migrate it as necessary.
Database administrators, developers and others can use the various features of Hadoop to
deal with big data in any number of ways.
For example, Hadoop can be used to pursue data strategies like clustering and targeting
with non-uniform data, or data that doesn't fit neatly into a traditional table or respond well
to simple queries.
4. Hadoop was created by Doug Cutting and Mike Cafarella in 2005.
Cutting, who was working at Yahoo! at the time, named it after his son's toy elephant.
It was originally developed to support distribution for the Nutch search engine project.
Hadoop jobs run under 5 daemons mainly,
Name node
Data Node
Secondary Name node
Job Tracker
Task Tracker
Starting Daemons
5. Hadoop is a large-scale distributed batch processing infrastructure.
Its true power lies in its ability to scale to hundreds or thousands of computers, each with
several processor cores.
Hadoop is also designed to efficiently distribute large amounts of work across a set of
machines.
Hadoop is built to process "web-scale" data on the order of hundreds of gigabytes to
terabytes or petabytes.
At this scale, it is likely that the input data set will not even fit on a single computer's hard
drive, much less in memory.
So Hadoop includes a distributed file system which breaks up input data and sends
fractions of the original data to several machines in your cluster to hold.
This results in the problem being processed in parallel using all of the machines in the
cluster and computes output results as efficiently as possible.
6. Hadoop Advantages
Hadoop is an open source, versatile tool that provides the power of distributed computing.
By using distributed storage & transferring code instead of data, Hadoop avoids the costly
transmission step when working with large data sets.
Redundancy of data allows Hadoop to recover from single node fail.
Ease to create programs with Hadoop As it uses the Map Reduce framework.
Need not worry about partitioning the data, determining which nodes will perform which
tasks, or handling communication between nodes as It is all done by Hadoop for you.
Hadoop leaving you free to focus on what is most important to you and your data and what
you want to do with it.
7. Challenges:
Performing large-scale computation is difficult.
Whenever multiple machines are used in cooperation with one another, the probability of
failures rises.
In a distributed environment, however, partial failures are an expected and common
occurrence.
Networks can experience partial or total failure if switches and routers break down. Data
may not arrive at a particular point in time due to unexpected network congestion.
Clocks may become desynchronized, lock files may not be released, parties involved in
distributed atomic transactions may lose their network connections part-way through, etc.
In each of these cases, the rest of the distributed system should be able to recover from the
component failure or transient error condition and continue to make progress.
8. Synchronization between multiple machines remains the biggest challenge in
distributed system design.
For example, if 100 nodes are present in a system and one of them crashes, the other
99 nodes should be able to continue the computation, ideally with only a small penalty
proportionate to the loss of 1% of the computing power.
Hadoop typically isn't a one-stop-shopping product and must be used in coordination
with Map Reduce and a range of other complementary technologies from what is
referred to as the Hadoop ecosystem.
Although it's open source, it's by no means free. Companies implementing a Hadoop
cluster generally choose one of the commercial distributions of the framework, which
poses maintenance and support costs.
They need to pay for hardware and hire experienced programmers or train existing
employees on working with Hadoop, Map Reduce and related technologies such as
Hive, HBase and Pig.
9. Challenges:
Following are the major common areas found as weaknesses of Hadoop framework
or system:
As you know Hadoop uses HDFS and Map Reduce, Both of their master processes
are single points of failure, Although there is active work going on for High
Availability versions.
Until the Hadoop 2.x release, HDFS and Map Reduce will be using single-master
models which can result in single points of failure.
Hadoop does not offer storage or network level encryption which is very big concern
for government sector application data.
HDFS is inefficient for handling small files, and it lacks transparent compression.
As HDFS is not designed to work well with random reads over small files due to its
optimization for sustained throughput.
Map Reduce is a shared-nothing architecture hence Tasks that require global
synchronization or sharing of mutable data are not a good fit which can pose
challenges for some algorithms
10.
11. • HDFS Introduction
• HDFS, the Hadoop Distributed File System, is a distributed file system designed to hold
very large amounts of data (terabytes or even petabytes), and provide high-throughput
access to this information.
• Files are stored in a redundant fashion across multiple machines to ensure their durability
to failure and high availability to very parallel applications. This module introduces the
design of this distributed file system and instructions on how to operate it.
• A distributed file system is designed to hold a large amount of data and provide access to
this data to many clients distributed across a network. There are a number of distributed
file systems that solve this problem in different ways.
• HDFS should store data reliably. If individual machines in the cluster malfunction, data
should still be available.
• HDFS should provide fast, scalable access to this information. It should be possible to
serve a larger number of clients by simply adding more machines to the cluster.
* HDFS should integrate well with Hadoop Map Reduce, allowing data to be read and
computed upon locally when possible.
12. • Applications that use HDFS are assumed to perform long sequential streaming reads from
files. HDFS is optimized to provide streaming read performance; this comes at the expense
of random seek times to arbitrary positions in files.
• Due to the large size of files, and the sequential nature of reads, the system does not
provide a mechanism for local caching of data. The overhead of caching is great enough
that data should simply be re-read from HDFS source.
• Individual machines are assumed to fail on a frequent basis, both permanently and
intermittently. The cluster must be able to withstand the complete failure of several
machines, possibly many happening at the same time (e.g., if a rack fails all together).
While performance may degrade proportional to the number of machines lost, the system as
a whole should not become overly slow, nor should information be lost. Data replication
strategies combat this problem.
• The design of HDFS is based on the design of GFS, the Google File System. Its design was
described in a paper published by Google.
13. • HDFS Architecture
• HDFS is a block-structured file system: individual files are broken into blocks of a fixed
size. These blocks are stored across a cluster of one or more machines with data storage
capacity.
• Individual machines in the cluster are referred to as Data Nodes. A file can be made of
several blocks, and they are not necessarily stored on the same machine; the target
machines which hold each block are chosen randomly on a block-by-block basis.
• Thus access to a file may require the cooperation of multiple machines, but supports file
sizes far larger than a single-machine DFS; individual files can require more space than a
single hard drive could hold.
• If several machines must be involved in the serving of a file, then a file could be rendered
unavailable by the loss of any one of those machines. HDFS combats this problem by
replicating each block across a number of machines (3, by default).
• Most block-structured file systems use a block size on the order of 4 or 8 KB. By contrast,
the default block size in HDFS is 64MB -- orders of magnitude larger. This allows HDFS
to decrease the amount of metadata storage required per file (the list of blocks per file will
be smaller as the size of individual blocks increases).
15. • HDFS expects to read a block start-to-finish for a program. This makes it particularly
useful to the Map Reduce style of programming.
• Because HDFS stores files as a set of large blocks across several machines, these files are
not part of the ordinary file system. Typing ls on a machine running a Data Node daemon
will display the contents of the ordinary Linux file system being used to host the Hadoop
services -- but it will not include any of the files stored inside the HDFS.
• This is because HDFS runs in a separate namespace, isolated from the contents of your
local files. The files inside HDFS (or more accurately: the blocks that make them up) are
stored in a particular directory managed by the Data Node service, but the files will named
only with block ids.
• It is important for this file system to store its metadata reliably. Furthermore, while the file
data is accessed in a write once and read many model, the metadata structures (e.g., the
names of files and directories) can be modified by a large number of clients concurrently.
• It is important that this information is never desynchronized. Therefore, it is all handled by
a single machine, called the Name Node.
• The Name Node stores all the metadata for the file system. Because of the relatively low
amount of metadata per file (it only tracks file names, permissions, and the locations of
each block of each file), all of this information can be stored in the main memory of the
Name Node machine, allowing fast access to the metadata.
16. Centralized namenode
- Maintains metadata info about files
Many data node (1000s)
- Store the actual data
- Files are divided into blocks
- Each block is replicated N times
(Default = 3)
File F 1 2 3 4 5
Blocks (64 MB)
17. • To open a file, a client contacts the Name Node and retrieves a list of locations for the
blocks that comprise the file. These locations identify the Data Nodes which hold each
block.
• Clients then read file data directly from the Data Node servers, possibly in parallel. The
Name Node is not directly involved in this bulk data transfer, keeping its overhead to a
minimum.
• Name Node information must be preserved even if the Name Node machine fails; there are
multiple redundant systems that allow the Name Node to preserve the file system's
metadata even if the Name Node itself crashes irrecoverably.
• Name Node failure is more severe for the cluster than Data Node failure. While individual
Data Nodes may crash and the entire cluster will continue to operate, the loss of the Name
Node will render the cluster inaccessible until it is manually restored.
• Fortunately, as the Name Node's involvement is relatively minimal, the odds of it failing
are considerably lower than the odds of an arbitrary Data Node failing at any given point
in time.
