Hadoop**: - Apache Hadoop is an open-source framework for distributed storage and processing of large datasets across clusters of commodity hardware. It includes components like Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) for storage and MapReduce for processing. **2. Spark**: - Apache Spark is a fast and general-purpose cluster computing system for big data processing. It provides APIs in Java, Scala, and Python for processing data in-memory and supports a wide range of data processing tasks including batch processing, streaming, machine learning, and graph processing. ### **3. Hive**: - Apache Hive is a data warehouse infrastructure built on top of Hadoop for querying and analyzing large datasets stored in Hadoop's HDFS. It provides a SQL-like interface called HiveQL, which allows users to write queries to analyze data using familiar SQL syntax. ### **4. HBase**: - Apache HBase is a distributed, scalable, and column-oriented NoSQL database built on top of Hadoop's HDFS. It provides real-time read/write access to large datasets and is well-suited for random, real-time access to data stored in Hadoop. ### **5. Kafka**: - Apache Kafka is a distributed streaming platform used for building real-time data pipelines and streaming applications. It is designed to handle high-throughput, fault-tolerant, and scalable ingestion of data streams from various sources. **6. Flink**: - Apache Flink is a distributed stream processing framework for big data analytics. It supports event-driven, real-time processing of streaming data with high throughput and low-latency capabilities. ### **7. Cassandra**: - Apache Cassandra is a distributed NoSQL database designed for handling large amounts of data across multiple commodity servers without a single point of failure. It provides high availability, linear scalability, and tunable consistency levels. ### **8. ZooKeeper**: - Apache ZooKeeper is a centralized service for maintaining configuration information, providing distributed synchronization, and ensuring coordination across distributed systems. It is used by many distributed systems as a coordination and consensus service. ### **9. Parquet**: - Apache Parquet is a columnar storage file format optimized for use with Apache Hadoop-based data processing frameworks. It provides efficient compression and encoding schemes to minimize storage and improve query performance. ### **10. Arrow**: - Apache Arrow is a cross-language development platform for in-memory data. It provides a standardized language-independent columnar memory format for efficient data interchange between different systems and languages.  **Tags:** [DevOps](https://lakshyaresources.com/tag/devops) ![Vishwa Teja](https://app.hubspot.com/settings/avatar/d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e) Post by [Vishwa Teja](https://lakshyaresources.com/author/vishwa-teja) April 12, 2024 ### Related Articles ##### [![Vulnerability Scanning Tools](https://lakshyaresources.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Add%20a%20heading%20(7).jpg?width=520&height=294&name=Add%20a%20heading%20(7).jpg) DevOps • April 12, 2024 Vulnerability Scanning Tools 1 min read](https://lakshyaresources.com/vulnerability-scanning-tools) ##### [![Identity and Access Management (IAM)](https://lakshyaresources.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Identity%20and%20Access%20Management%20(IAM).jpg?width=520&height=294&name=Identity%20and%20Access%20Management%20(IAM).jpg) DevOps • April 12, 2024 Identity and Access Management (IAM) 1 min read](https://lakshyaresources.com/identity-and-access-management-iam) ### Comments ![Infodataworx](https://lakshyaresources.com/hs-fs/hubfs/png.png?width=750&height=1450&name=png.png) ### Infodataworx - At IDX, we are committed to driving positive change through collaboration and passion.
