  Description     : Apache Hadoop distributed processing framework

Apache Hadoop is a framework for running applications on large cluster built
of commodity hardware. It transparently provides applications both reliability
and data motion. Hadoop implements a computational paradigm named Map/Reduce,
where the application is divided into many small fragments of work, each of
which may be executed or re-executed on any node in the cluster. In addition,
it provides a distributed file system (HDFS) that stores data on the compute
nodes, providing very high aggregate bandwidth across the cluster. Both
MapReduce and the Hadoop Distributed File System are designed so that node
failures are automatically handled by the framework.
