What Is Hadoop Ecosystem?

The Hadoop ecosystem is a bit like a big, complicated puzzle. You've got all your pieces—the different components of the Apache Hadoop software library, as well as the accessories and tools provided by the Apache Software Foundation for these projects and then you've got all the way that they work together. And how do they work together? Well, let's say you're trying to build a website that shows pictures of cats. You could start with some pieces of wood, some nails, and some glue—and then you could use those to build a frame for your picture-frame website but, there are other things you might want to add to make sure that it's something special—like maybe some catnip or perhaps some cat food (and maybe even some cats!). That's how all these different components work together, they each bring something unique and special to the table that makes up this whole thing called your project! Hadoop is a Java-based framework that is extremely popular for handling and analyzing large data sets. Yahoo originally developed it to help them handle their massive amounts of web search data. Hadoop is just a set of tools that work together to process large data payments. The core function of Hadoop is to store data on distributed systems so that it can be analyzed later by users or software. The Hadoop ecosystem is like the family of a rich, eccentric uncle. It's got everything you need to live your life and then some. The core package itself is mostly open-source and licensed by Apache. The core package includes a framework for handling vast amounts of data called MapReduce and a sophisticated file-handling system called HDFS. There's also YARN—a resource manager that helps you organize your data even more efficiently than before!
