What Is Hadoop

An open-source software framework library, used to store and analyze huge amount of unstructured data distributed over large clusters of machines.
It does not work with traditional DBMSs, because the data is unstructured but is comparatively faster than those. The data to be analyzed using Hadoop, ranges from a few Terabytes to Zeta-bytes in size.

Hadoop was developed by Apache Software Foundation. It is open-source and is freely available for download from the official website.
