Description: Apache Hadoop Core
  .
  Apache Hadoop Core is a software platform that lets one easily write and 
  run applications that process vast amounts of data.
  .
  Here's what makes Hadoop especially useful:
   * Scalable: Hadoop can reliably store and process petabytes.
   * Economical: It distributes the data and processing across clusters of 
                 commonly available computers. These clusters can number into 
                 the thousands of nodes.
   * Efficient: By distributing the data, Hadoop can process it in parallel on
                the nodes where the data is located. This makes it extremely 
                rapid.
   * Reliable: Hadoop automatically maintains multiple copies of data and 
               automatically redeploys computing tasks based on failures.
  .
  Hadoop implements MapReduce, using the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS)
  MapReduce divides applications into many small blocks of work. HDFS creates 
  multiple replicas of data blocks for reliability, placing them on compute 
  nodes around the cluster. MapReduce can then process the data where it is 
  located.
