What is Apache Storm?

The ability to extract, transform and process real-time data is critical today. In the beginning, there wasn’t any support for real-time data processing. But, with the demand and constant technological progress, there are quite a few technologies now that support real-time data processing. Apache Storm is one of them. Apache Storm is a system for… Continue reading What is Apache Storm?

Term of the Week : YARN

Apache Hadoop YARN (Yet Another Resource Negotiator) is a cluster management technology. It decouples MapReduce’s resource management and scheduling capabilities from the data processing component, enabling Hadoop to support more varied processing approaches and a broader array of applications. YARN, (or sometimes called as MR2), is an extended and an improved version of MR1. It was… Continue reading Term of the Week : YARN

Term of the Week : Oozie

Oozie, an open source project, is implemented as a Java web application that runs in a Java servlet container and is distributed under the Apache License 2.0. It is a workflow scheduling system to manage Hadoop jobs. Oozie combines multiple jobs sequentially into one logical unit of work. It is integrated with the Hadoop stack, with YARN… Continue reading Term of the Week : Oozie

What is a Capacity Scheduler in Hadoop?

Capacity Scheduler is a pluggable scheduler for Hadoop which allows for multiple-tenants to securely share a large cluster such that their applications are allocated resources in a timely manner under constraints of allocated capacities. Before the onset of Big Data and Hadoop, every organization had their own set of resources that had sufficient capacity to meet the… Continue reading What is a Capacity Scheduler in Hadoop?

Term of the Week : Apache Tez

The Apache Tez project is an extensible framework built on top of Apache Hadoop YARN. It is used to process data, that earlier took multiple MR jobs, now in a single Tez job which uses Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) for data processing. It is used for building high performance batch and interactive data processing applications.… Continue reading Term of the Week : Apache Tez
