This document discusses big data and Hadoop. It begins by defining big data and explaining the volume, variety, and velocity of data being generated. It then provides an overview of Hadoop, including its origins, architecture, core components of HDFS and MapReduce, and Hadoop ecosystems like Hive. HDFS provides a distributed file system for large data storage, while MapReduce allows processing of large datasets in parallel across clusters. Hive allows querying and analysis of large datasets stored in Hadoop. Overall, the document serves as an introduction to big data concepts and the Hadoop framework for distributed storage and processing of large and diverse datasets.
