Why Hadoop?

Before starting to learn hadoop, we need to know why hadoop. For that, we need to learn what are the limitations of the existing system.
Ok. Now what are the existing systems? Its

  • Relational Database management system (RDBMS)
  • Files systems
  • NoSQL 


The Limitations of RDBMS is listed below.
1. Scalability -  RDBMS deals with GBs then what about data having volumes in TBs or PBs?
2. Speed

But Hadoop is not a replacement of RDBMS.
