Hadoop Tutorial

Last Updated : 24 Feb, 2026

Big Data refers to extremely large datasets that grow rapidly and come from multiple sources. Traditional systems struggle to process such massive and complex data efficiently. Hadoop provides a distributed framework to store and process Big Data at scale.

  • Designed for distributed storage and parallel data processing
  • Handles structured, semi-structured and unstructured data
  • Fault-tolerant and scalable across clusters of machines
