Hadoop’s significance in data warehousing is progressing rapidly as a transitory platform for extract, transform, and load (ETL) processing. Mention about ETL and eyes glaze over Hadoop as a logical platform for data preparation and transformation as it allows them to manage huge volume, variety, and velocity of data flawlessly. Hadoop is extensively talked about as the best platform for ETL because it is considered an all-purpose staging area and landing zone for enterprise big data.

Hadoop is the way to go for organizations that do not want to add load to their primary storage system and want to write distributed jobs that perform well. MongoDB NoSQL database is used in the big data stack for storing and retrieving one item at a time from large datasets whereas Hadoop is used for processing these large data sets. For organizations to keep the load off MongoDB in the production database, data processing is offloaded to Apache Hadoop.

With a rapid pace in evolution of Big Data, its processing frameworks also seem to be evolving in a full swing mode. Hadoop (Hadoop 1.0) has progressed from a more restricted processing model of batch oriented MapReduce jobs to developing specialized and interactive processing models (Hadoop 2.0). With the advent of Hadoop 2.0, it is possible for organizations to create data crunching methodologies within Hadoop which were not possible with Hadoop 1.0 architectural limitations.
