Hadoop

Hadoop

Why is Hadoop so fast?

Time to read 1 TB from Disk

  • 1 disk - 3.4h
  • 10 disks - 20m
  • 100 disks - 2m
  • 1000 disks - 12s

 

Time to read 1 TB from Main Memory

  • 1 node - 100s
  • 10 nodes - 10s
  • 100 nodes - 1s
  • 1000 nodes - 100ms

Data Parallelism

Why use so much data?

The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Data¹: "sometimes it's not who has the best algorithm that wins; it's who has the most data."

 ¹http://www.csee.wvu.edu/~gidoretto/courses/2011-fall-cp/reading/TheUnreasonable%20EffectivenessofData_IEEE_IS2009.pdf

How to store so much data?

"Imagine a Filesystem with unlimited capacity, scalability and fault tolerance"
