Is R and Hadoop related?

Is R and Hadoop related? As I understand both are used for large scale data analysis, and calculations. Also I noticed Google and Facebook use R, Mapreduce framework is from Google and they use it for search.

Is R and Hadoop even comparable? If not for what purpose each one is used?

Solution

  • This article here suggests that you can use hadoop to store you data and write map reduce jobs that can then provide output that can be analyzed through R.
