To leverage the power of a distributed storage filesystem, Hadoop performs distributed programming which can do massive parallel programming. Distributed programming is the heart of any big data system, so it is extremely critical. The following are the different frameworks that can be used for distributed programming:

  • MapReduce

  • Hive

  • Pig

  • Spark

The basic layer in Hadoop for distributed programming is MapReduce. Let's introduce MapReduce:

  • Hadoop MapReduce: MapReduce is the heart of the Hadoop system distributed programming. MapReduce is a framework model designed as parallel processing on a distributed environment. Hadoop MapReduce was inspired by Google MapReduce whitepaper. Hadoop MapReduce is scalable and massively parallel processing framework, which can work on huge data and is designed to run, even in commodity hardware.
