+
+ <p>
+
+ The Apache™ Hadoop™ software library is a framework that
+ allows for the distributed processing of large data sets across clusters
+ of computers using a simple programming model. It is designed to scale up
+ from single servers to thousands of machines, each offering local
+ computation and storage. Rather than rely on hardware to deliver
+ high-avaiability, the library itself is designed to detect and handle
+ failures at the application layer, so delivering a highly-availabile
+ service on top of a cluster of computers, each of which may be prone to
+ failures.
