Hadoop platform tools

We have successfully run our first MapReduce program on Hadoop written in Java. The Hadoop ecosystem offers a rich set of tools to perform various activities on the Hadoop cluster. The rich tool set is a mix of open source tools and commercial tools available from vendors. The Hadoop ecosystem of tools improves continuously through the very active open source community and commercial vendors who actively contribute to improvements.

In this section, we cover some of the popular tools that we will use to build solutions from Chapter 2, A 360-Degree View of Customer, onwards in this book. A very comprehensive list of tools is available on a website known as Hadoop Illuminated at this URL: http://hadoopilluminated.com/hadoop_illuminated/Bigdata_Ecosystem.html ...
