Abstract

The process of storing and processing massive amounts of data (big data) in a traditional database is expensive and consumes a lot of time to obtain desired results. This project has been implemented to solve these problems faced by an organization, with the implementation of Hadoop framework that stores huge data sets on distributed clusters and performs parallel data processing to achieve results quickly. It uses commodity hardware to store the data making it cost effective and provides data security by replicating the data sets. The main goals of the project were to improve the performance of processing huge data sets, reduce long term data storage costs and provide a platform that supports ad hoc analysis and provides real-time insights. The project was structured to follow agile model of software development and the data was collected and analyzed after the execution of the project. The results obtained by the analysis of data aided in arriving to the conclusion and validating that the stated goals were achieved.
