Disco is an open-source implementation of the Map-Reduce framework for distributed computing. As the original framework, Disco supports parallel computations over large data sets on unreliable cluster of computers.
Sqoop is a tool designed to import data from relational databases into Hadoop. Sqoop uses JDBC to connect to a database. It examines each table’s schema and automatically generates the necessary classes to import data into the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS). Sqoop then creates and launches a MapReduce job to read tables from the database via DBInputFormat, the JDBC-based InputFormat. Tables are read into a set of files in HDFS. Sqoop supports both SequenceFile and text-based target and includes performance enhancements for loading data from MySQL.
MRQL (the Map-Reduce Query Language) is an SQL-like query language for map-reduce computations. It is implemented on top of Apache's Hadoop. MRQL is powerful enough to express most common data analysis tasks over many different kinds of raw data, including hierarchical data and nested collections, such as XML data. It is more powerful than other current languages, such as Hive and Pig Latin, since it can operate on more complex data and supports more powerful query constructs, thus eliminating the need for using explicit map-reduce code.
