Welcome to Hadoop!
What Is Hadoop?
The Apache Hadoop project develops open-source software for reliable, scalable, distributed computing, including:
- Hadoop Core, our flagship sub-project, provides a distributed filesystem (HDFS) and support for the MapReduce distributed computing metaphor.
- HBase builds on Hadoop Core to provide a scalable, distributed database.
A wide variety of organizations use Hadoop. Some of them are listed on our powered by page.
