Hadoop is an open-source software framework used for distributed storage and processing of large datasets across clusters of computers. It provides a reliable, scalable platform to store, manage and analyze big data using a distributed file system (Hadoop Distributed File System - HDFS) and a parallel processing framework (MapReduce).
Companies are building platforms to handle massive data scales efficiently, using distributed linearly scalable tools like Hadoop, which import and transform data from diverse sources for complex tasks.
Hadoop's distributed design allows it to scale horizontally by adding more nodes to the cluster, facilitating seamless expansion to manage increasing data sizes efficiently.
