## What it is
A set of Docker images and docker-compose files for deploying Apache Hadoop clusters, including HDFS namenode/datanode, YARN resource manager, nodemanager, and history server. Configuration is handled via environment variables that map to Hadoop XML config files.

## Use cases
- spin up a local HDFS cluster for testing
- run a Hadoop cluster with docker-compose
- deploy Hadoop on Docker swarm
- run example MapReduce wordcount jobs in containers
- configure Hadoop via environment variables instead of XML files
- learn Hadoop without installing it on bare metal

## When to choose
- you need a quick, disposable Hadoop/HDFS cluster for development or testing
- you want to experiment with Hadoop configuration via env vars
- you are prototyping big data pipelines locally with Docker

## When to avoid
- you need a production-grade, secured Hadoop deployment with Kerberos and HA
- you want a modern alternative like Spark standalone, Kubernetes-native big data stacks, or cloud object storage instead of HDFS
- you need active support or a clear license

## Facets
- artifact type: infra-config
- maturity: maintenance
- function: container-runtime, deployment, developer-tools
- domain: big-data
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: hadoop, hdfs, docker-compose, docker-swarm, big-data, cluster, yarn, mapreduce, devops, containers, data-engineering, docker, linux
