1) What is Hadoop?

by Dan Power
Editor, DSSResources.com 

Data-driven DSS may need to access and process very large data 
sets to support decision-making. One way to provide this capability 
is with Hadoop. Apache Hadoop is an open source Java framework 
for processing, storing and querying large amounts of data 
distributed on clusters of commodity hardware. Hadoop is a top 
level Apache project that Yahoo! initiated. The Hadoop project 
(http://hadoop.apache.org/) develops open-source software for 
reliable, scalable, distributed computing.
