This document discusses Hadoop and related big data technologies. It provides an overview of Hadoop and how it can be used as a distributed analytical platform. It also discusses Extract-Transform-Load (ETL) processes for loading and analyzing data using Hadoop technologies like Hive and MapReduce jobs. Specific techniques covered include clustering algorithms like K-means using Apache Mahout and preparing data in HDFS file formats. The document aims to demonstrate how these technologies can be applied to solve real-world big data problems.
