Comparison of Standard Computation Against Distributed Computation Using Hadoop Cluster

Computing the solutions to real life problems has become the need of the hour and has become a matter of utmost importance. In earlier times, it took days/months to compute and use algorithms to make things work, but as time passed on, computers became faster and more efficient, and these computations took less time. Now a days, new computation techniques are being invented. One such technique which will be discussed in this paper is Distributed Computation using Hadoop. Instead of using a single computer to solve problems, multiple virtual machines will be set up and will be used to prove quantitatively the time taken to execute one job using standard computation is much more than the time taken to execute the same job using Distributed Computation using Hadoop. This will help in faster computation and less time to perform tasks, as compared to standard methods which do not use cloud technology.
