Hadoop Ecosystem and Google Cloud for Data Processing - Sheet1 Flashcards
What is Hadoop?
An open-source framework for distributed processing of large data sets across computer clusters.
What is the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS)?
A file system used by Hadoop to distribute work to nodes on the cluster.
What is Apache Spark?
An open-source analytics engine for processing batch and streaming data, known for its in-memory processing capabilities.
What are some limitations of OSS Hadoop?
Tuning and utilization issues, physical limitations in on-premises clusters.
What are the benefits of using Google Cloud for data processing?
Built-in support for Hadoop; Managed hardware and configuration; Simplified version management; Flexible job configuration; Spark’s flexibility and declarative programming model.
What does Google Cloud offer for Hadoop data processing?
Managed Hadoop and Spark environment with built-in support.
What advantages does Google Cloud offer in terms of hardware and configuration?
No need to worry about physical hardware; Flexible cluster configuration and resource allocation.
How does Google Cloud simplify version management for Hadoop clusters?
DataProc manages much of the versioning work, ensuring compatibility between components.
What is the advantage of creating multiple clusters in Google Cloud for Hadoop tasks?
Focus on individual tasks without complexity of a single cluster with growing dependencies.
What are the benefits of using Spark in data processing?
Flexibility in mixing different kinds of applications; Efficient resource utilization; Declarative programming model.
What is the main purpose of HDFS in Hadoop?
To distribute work to nodes on the cluster.
What is the main advantage of Spark over Hadoop for data processing?
In-memory processing capabilities, making it up to 100 times faster for equivalent jobs.
What are some challenges with on-premises Hadoop clusters?
Physical limitations, lack of separation between storage and compute resources.
What does DataProc offer for running Hadoop on Google Cloud?
Managed hardware, simplified version management, flexible job configuration.
What is the benefit of declarative programming in Spark?
Users specify what they want to achieve, and the system figures out how to implement it.
What is the purpose of Hadoop in distributed processing?
To process large data sets across computer clusters.
What are some components of the Hadoop ecosystem?
HDFS, MapReduce, Hive, Pig, Spark.
