Uwe Seiler

Apache Hadoop is one of the most popular solutions for today’s Big Data challenges. Hadoop offers a reliable and scalable platform for fail-safe storage of large amounts of data as well as the tools to process this data. This presentation will give an overview of the architecture of Hadoop and explain the possibilities for integration within existing enterprise systems. Finally, the main tools for processing data will be introduced which includes the scripting language layer Pig, the SQL-like query layer Hive as well as the column-based NoSQL layer HBase.
