3 Tools

There are various tools available for Big Data Analytics, but
Apache Hadoop and Apache Spark are two of the most widely
used platforms.
Overview of Apache Hadoop
What is Hadoop?
Apache Hadoop is an open-source Big Data
processing framework that allows distributed
storage and processing of large datasets across
computing clusters.
How does it work?
Hadoop stores data across multiple servers in
a distributed file system called Hadoop
Distributed File System (HDFS). The processing
itself is done using a framework called
MapReduce.
