5. Data Warehouse: The system of data storage from multiple sources for the purpose of analysis and reporting. The reports generated are used to drive business decisions.

 

6. Flume : Flume is defined as a robust, reliable, distributed, and available service for aggregating, collecting, and transferring huge amount of data in HDFS.

8. MapReduce : “MapReduce” = Map phase + Reduce phaseA software framework for easily writing applications which process vast amounts of data, enables massive scalability across hundreds or thousands of servers in a Hadoop cluster.

 

9. Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) : Allows users to conduct multidimensional analysis of business data from multiple database systems at the same time. Through OLAP, users can conduct complex calculations, trend analysis, and sophisticated data modeling. Data warehouses are used for online analytical processing (OLAP), which uses complex queries to analyze rather than process transactions.

 

10. (Apache)Spark: is a unified analytics engine for large-scale distributed data processing and machine learning. Apache Spark is to rapidly query, analyze, and transform data at a large scale.Most frequently Spark is used for ETL and SQL batch jobs across large data sets, processing of streaming data from sensors, IoT, or financial systems, and machine learning tasks.
