Preface

Hadoop is synonymous with Big Data processing. Its simple programming model, "code once and deploy at any scale" paradigm, and an ever-growing ecosystem make Hadoop an inclusive platform for programmers with different levels of expertise and breadth of knowledge. A team of machines are interconnected via a very fast network and provide better scaling and elasticity, but that is not enough.

These clusters have to be programmed. A greater number of machines, just like a team of human beings, require more coordination and synchronization. The higher ...
