                  Hadoop - Computation clusters at Scale

 This presentation gives a brief high level overview of Apache Hadoop. 
 Hadoop is a Java software framework that supports data-intensive 
 distributed applications under a free license. It enables applications
 to work with thousands of nodes and petabytes of data. Hadoop was 
 inspired by Google's MapReduce and Google File System (GFS) papers.

 After the overview, we will delve into a with a practical example of
 Hadoop solving a "big data" problem. 

 Finally we will discuss how the demonstrated Hadoop processing model
 scales out to terabytes of data and hundreds or even thousands of 
 computers.
