Apache Hadoop VS Apache Avro

There are different ways to implement parallel dataflows, such as using parallel data processing frameworks like Apache Hadoop, Apache Spark, and Apache Flink, or using cloud-based services like Amazon EMR and Google Cloud Dataflow. It is also possible to use parallel dataflow frameworks to handle big data and distributed computing, like Apache Nifi and Apache Kafka.

There are several frameworks available for batch processing, such as Hadoop, Apache Storm, and DataTorrent RTS.

The Apache™ Hadoop™ project develops open-source software for reliable, scalable, distributed computing.

So, clearly with your AP CS class and PLC logic knowledge, if you were dumped into a codebase like Hadoop, QT, or TensorFlow you'd be able to quickly and competently analyze what is going on with that code, understand all the libraries used, know the reasons why certain compromises were made, and be able to make suggestions on how to restructure the code in a different way? Because I've been programming for coming up on two decades and unless a system is within the domains that I have experience in, I would not be able to provide any useful information without a massive onboarding timeline, and definitely wouldn't be able to help redesign anything until actually coding within the system for a significant amount of time.

This requires the use of distributed computation tools such as Spark and Hadoop, Flink and Kafka are used. But for occasional experimentation, Pandas, Geopandas and Dask are some of the commonly used tools.

Apache Hadoop

Hadoop (a Big Data tool).

Apache Hadoop is an open source framework that is used to efficiently store and process large datasets ranging in size from gigabytes to petabytes of data.Wanna dig more dipper?

The most common format for describing schema in this scenario is Apache Avro.

Other serialization alternatives have a schema validation option: e.g., Avro, Kryo and Protocol Buffers. Interestingly enough, gRPC uses Protobuf to offer RPC across distributed components:

Apache Avro is a data serialization system, for more information visit Apache Avro

Avro, a data serialization system based on JSON schemas.

If binary format is OK, use Protocol Buffer or Avro . Note that in the case of binary formats, you need a schema to serialize/de-serialize your data. Therefore, you'd probably want a schema registry to store all past and present schemas for later usage.

Apache Avro

Maybe it will be simpler to serialise all the data in a more compact data format, such as avro (its readme is in here), a row based format that seems to be able to use zstd/bzip/xz.
