Apache Hadoop — Pros & Cons
Pros
- Scales to petabyte-level storage by adding commodity nodes horizontally.
- Cost-effective data management due to open-source nature and commodity hardware.
- Fault-tolerant with built-in data replication ensures high data availability.
- Handles large amounts of unstructured data, offering flexibility for diverse formats.
- Strong ecosystem integration with components like Hive, HBase, Spark, and YARN.
Cons
- Steep learning curve and high operational overhead with numerous ecosystem components.
- Inefficient with a large number of small files due to NameNode memory overhead.
- Slower query performance compared to in-memory alternatives; queries can take hours.
- Hidden total cost of ownership; thought to be cheap but specialized staffing is expensive.
- Not suitable for real-time processing or low-latency interactive querying.
