Preliminary performance analysis of Hadoop 3.0.0-alpha3

Abstract

Apache Software Foundation has released an alpha version of Hadoop, Apache Hadoop 3.0.0-alpha3. This research paper focuses on analyzing the performance of the new version with respect to the older version of Hadoop, Apache Hadoop 2.7.3. The performance analysis is done by running various benchmark tests included in the Apache Hadoop distribution on the two versions of Apache Hadoop installed on different isolated Virtual Machines. The results of the test runs are detailed in this paper.
