For many organizations wanting to take the plunge into big data analysis, Apache Hadoop is a natural starting point. This open source software project enables distributed processing of large data sets across clusters of commodity servers. Designed to scale and able to run on commodity hardware, the resiliency of these Hadoop clusters comes from the ability to detect and handle failures at the application layer.
