Apache Hadoop ( /həˈduːp/) is a collection of open-source software utilities that facilitates using a network of many computers to solve problems involving massive amounts of data and computation.[vague] It provides a software framework for distributed storage and processing of big data using the MapReduce programming model. Hadoop was originally designed for computer clusters built from commodity hardware, which is still the common use.[3] It has since also found use on clusters of higher-end hardware.[4][5] All the modules in Hadoop are designed with a fundamental assumption that hardware failures are common occurrences and should be automatically handled by the framework.[6]
