And then after the launch of Apache Hadoop, technology and business people started thinking about managing and handling huge data in a simplified and secure manner. It is like Amitabh Bachchan joining Bollywood and then every director and producer getting stories that matched his style and fantastico style. That is what has happened with Hadoop.
