The document discusses the family of Hadoop projects. It describes the history and origins of Hadoop, starting with Doug Cutting's work on Nutch and the implementation of Google's papers on MapReduce and the Google File System. It then summarizes several major Hadoop sub-projects, including HDFS for storage, MapReduce for distributed processing, HBase for structured storage, and Hive for data warehousing. For each project, it provides a brief overview of the architecture, data model, and programming interfaces.
