What is the difference between traditional RDBMS and Hadoop?


RDBMSHadoop
Data TypesRDBMS relies on the structured data and the schema of the data is always known.Any kind of data can be stored into Hadoop i.e. Be it structured, unstructured or semi-structured.
ProcessingRDBMS provides limited or no processing capabilities.Hadoop allows us to process the data which is distributed across the cluster in a parallel fashion.
Schema on Read Vs. WriteRDBMS is based on ‘schema on write’ where schema validation is done before loading the data.On the contrary, Hadoop follows the schema on read policy.
Read/Write SpeedIn RDBMS, reads are fast because the schema of the data is already known.The writes are fast in HDFS because no schema validation happens during HDFS write.
CostLicensed software, therefore, I have to pay for the software.Hadoop is an open source framework. So, I don’t need to pay for the software.
Best Fit Use CaseRDBMS is used for OLTP (Online Trasanctional Processing) system.Hadoop is used for Data discovery, data analytics or OLAP system.

Apache Hadoop HDFS Architecture

Apache Hadoop HDFS Architecture Introduction: In this blog, I am going to talk about Apache Hadoop HDFS Architecture.you already know that HDFS is a distributed file system which is deployed on low cost commodity hardware. So, it’s high time that we should take a deep dive into Apache Hadoop HDFS Architecture and unlock its beauty. HDFS Architecture: Apache HDFS or Hadoop Distributed File System is a block-structured file system where each file is divided into blocks of a pre-determined size. These blocks are stored across a cluster of one or several machines. Apache Hadoop HDFS Architecture follows a Master/Slave Architecture , where a cluster comprises of a single NameNode (Master node) and all the other nodes are DataNodes (Slave nodes). HDFS can be deployed on a broad spectrum of machines that support Java. Though one can run several DataNodes on a single machine, but in the practical world, these Da...

Daemon Services of Hadoop-

Image
Daemon Services of Hadoop- Namenodes Secondary Namenodes Jobtracker Datanodes Tasktracker Above three services 1, 2, 3 can talk to each other and other two services 4,5 can also talk to each other. Namenode and datanodes are also talking to each other as well as Jobtracker and Tasktracker are also. Above the file systems comes the MapReduce engine, which consists of one JobTracker, to which client applications submit MapReduce jobs. The JobTracker pushes work out to available TaskTracker nodes in the cluster, striving to keep the work as close to the data as possible. With a rack-aware file system, the JobTracker knows which node contains the data, and which other machines are nearby. If the work cannot be hosted on the actual node where the data resides, priority is given to nodes in the same rack. This reduces network traffic on the main backbone network. If a TaskTracker fails or times out, that part of the job is rescheduled. The TaskTracker on each node spawns...
