# Apache Hadoop

### Hadoop Platform Components <a href="#hadoop_platform_and_modules" id="hadoop_platform_and_modules"></a>

The Hadoop project is built using :

* **Hadoop Common**: A set of common utilities that support the other Hadoop modules.
* **Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS):** A distributed file system which provides high-throughput access to data.
* **YARN**: A framework for job scheduling and cluster resource management.
* **MapReduce**: A YARN-based system for parallel processing of large data sets.
* **Tez**: A generalized data-flow programming framework, built on Hadoop YARN, which provides a powerful and flexible engine to execute an arbitrary DAG of tasks to process data for both batch and interactive use-cases.
* **ZooKeeper**: A high-performance coordination service for distributed applications.
