I am explaining here why you need IBM infoSphere. You all know about what is file system in Hadoop.
All of these nodes are running software that unifies them into a single cluster, where, instead of seeing the individual computers, you see an extremely large volume where you can store your data.
The beauty of this Hadoop system is that you can store anything in this space: millions of digital image scans of mortgage contracts, days and weeks of security camera footage, trillions of sensor-generated log records, or all of the operator transcription notes from a call center.
Hadoop is a distributed file system and data processing engine that is designed to handle extremely high volumes of data in any structure.
In simpler terms, just imagine that you've got dozens, or even hundreds (or thousands!) of individual computers racked and networked together. Each computer (often referred to as a node in Hadoop-speak) has its own processors and a dozen or so 2TB or 3TB hard disk drives.

This ingestion of data, without worrying about the data model, is actually a key tenet of the NoSQL movement.
BigInsights features Apache Hadoop and its related open source projects as a core component. This is informally known as the IBM Distribution for Hadoop. IBM remains committed to the integrity of these open source projects and will ensure 100 percent compatibility with them.
Simply put, if the software vendor uses the libraries and interfaces for open source Hadoop, they'll work with BigInsights as well.

IBM InfoSphere BigInsights
BigInsights features Apache Hadoop and its related open source projects as a core component. This is informally known as the IBM Distribution for Hadoop. IBM remains committed to the integrity of these open source projects and will ensure 100 percent compatibility with them.
BigInsights is IBM Open Source for HadoopThis fidelity to open source provides a number of benefits. For people who have developed code against other 100 percent open source–compatible distributions, their applications will also run on BigInsights, and vice versa. This open source compatibility has enabled IBM to amass over 100 partners, including dozens of software vendors, for BigInsights.
Simply put, if the software vendor uses the libraries and interfaces for open source Hadoop, they'll work with BigInsights as well.
