Hadoop

Distributed computing platform

Hadoop is an open-source software framework for storing and processing massive datasets across clusters of computers.

It enables distributed computing—breaking enormous tasks into smaller pieces handled by many machines working in parallel.

Hadoop became foundational to big data processing in the 2010s: We migrated our analytics pipeline to Hadoop.

The name comes from a toy elephant belonging to the creator's child.
