A Survey on Big Data, Hadoop and it’s Ecosystem

Abstract

Now days, The 21st century is emphasized by a rapid and enormous change in the field of information technology. It is a non-separable part of our daily life and of multiple other industries like education, genetics, entertainment, science & technology, business etc. In this information age, a vast amount of data generation takes place. This vast amount of data is referred as Big Data. There is a number of challenges present in the Big Data such as capturing data, data analysis, searching of data, sharing of data, filtering of data etc. Today Big Data is applied in various fields like shopping websites such as Amazon, Flipkart, Social networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook, and so on. It is reviewed from some literature that, the Big data tends to use different analysis methods, like predictive analysis, user analysis etc. This paper represents the fact that, Big Data required an open source technology for operating and storing huge amount of data. This paper greatly emphasizes on Apache Hadoop, which has become dominant due to its applicability for processing of big data.Hadoop supports thousands of terabytes of data. Hadoop framework facilitates the analysis of big data and its processing methodologies as well as the structure of an ecosystem.
