Prominence of MapReduce in Big Data Processing

Big Data has come up with aureate haste and a clef enabler for the social business, Big Data gifts an opportunity to create extraordinary business advantage and better service delivery. Big Data is bringing a positive change in the decision making process of various business organizations. With the several offerings Big Data has come up with several issues and challenges which are related to the Big Data Management, Big Data processing and Big Data analysis. Big Data is having challenges related to volume, velocity and variety. Big Data has 3Vs Volume means large amount of data, Velocity means data arrives at high speed, Variety means data comes from heterogeneous resources. In Big Data definition, Big means a dataset which makes data concept to grow so much that it becomes difficult to manage it by using existing data management concepts and tools. Map Reduce is playing a very significant role in processing of Big Data. This paper includes a brief about Big Data and its related issues, emphasizes on role of MapReduce in Big Data processing. MapReduce is elastic scalable, efficient and fault tolerant for analysing a large set of data, highlights the features of MapReduce in comparison of other design model which makes it popular tool for processing large scale data. Analysis of performance factors of MapReduce shows that elimination of their inverse effect by optimization improves the performance of Map Reduce.
