Apache Hadoop is an open-source framework for reliable, scalable distributed storage (HDFS) and processing (MapReduce, YARN) of large data sets across clusters of commodity computers. It scales from single servers to thousands of machines and handles failures at the application layer.
Use cases
- store and process petabytes of data across a cluster
- run batch MapReduce jobs on large datasets
- set up a distributed file system for a data lake
- schedule and manage cluster compute resources with YARN
- build an on-premises big data platform
- run data pipelines over cloud object storage like S3
When to choose
- you need proven, battle-tested distributed storage and batch processing at scale
- you want a mature ecosystem with HDFS, YARN, and MapReduce under one project
- you need fault-tolerant processing on commodity hardware without external orchestration
When to avoid
- you only need lightweight analytics that Spark, DuckDB, or a cloud warehouse handles more simply
- you want real-time low-latency stream processing as the primary workload
- you cannot operate the operational overhead of a JVM-based cluster
