Emerging Trends of Big Data in Cloud Computing

Abstract

In today's world where data is accumulating at an ever-increasing rate, processing of this big data was a necessity rather than a need. This required some tools for processing as well as analysis of the data that could be achieved to obtain some meaningful result or outcome out of it. There are many tools available in market which could be used for processing of big data. But the main focus on this chapter is on Apache Hadoop which could be regarded as an open source software based framework which could be efficiently deployed for processing, storing, analyzing, and to produce meaningful insights from large sets of data. It is always said that if exponential increase of data is processing challenge then Hadoop could be considered as one of the effective solution for processing, managing, analyzing, and storing this big data. Hadoop versions and components are also illustrated in the later section of the paper. This chapter majorly focuses on the technique, methodology, components, and methodologies adopted by Apache Hadoop software framework for big data processing.
