Cascading is a Java-based application development framework for building Big Data applications on Apache Hadoop. This open source framework allows developers to leverage their existing skillsets such as Java, SQL, etc. to create enterprise=grade applications without having to think in MapReduce. This comprehensive framework separates business logic from integration logic so that developers can quickly build and test data applications locally on their laptop and then deploy them on Hadoop. While typical enterprise data applications must cross through multiple departments and frameworks, Cascading allows multiple departments to seamlessly integrate their application components into one single data processing application. In this presentation, developers will get an introduction to Cascading, how it works, and then dive into how one can build applications with Cascading
