Apache Hadoop has made distributed computing accessible to anyone who wants to try
and process their large volumes of data without shelling out big bucks to commercial of-
ferings. The success of Apache Hadoop implementations in organizations such as Face-
book, Netflix, LinkedIn, Twitter, The New York Times, and many more have given the
much deserved recognition to Apache Hadoop and in turn good confidence to other organ-
izations to make it a core part of their system. Having made large data analysis a possibil-
ity, Hadoop has also given rise to many startups that build analytics products on top of
Apache Hadoop.
