Hadoop vs ZeroMQ: What are the differences?
Hadoop: Open-source software for reliable, scalable, distributed computing. The Apache Hadoop software library is a framework that allows for the distributed processing of large data sets across clusters of computers using simple programming models. It is designed to scale up from single servers to thousands of machines, each offering local computation and storage; ZeroMQ: Fast, lightweight messaging library that allows you to design complex communication system without much effort. The 0MQ lightweight messaging kernel is a library which extends the standard socket interfaces with features traditionally provided by specialised messaging middleware products. 0MQ sockets provide an abstraction of asynchronous message queues, multiple messaging patterns, message filtering (subscriptions), seamless access to multiple transport protocols and more.
Hadoop and ZeroMQ are primarily classified as "Databases" and "Message Queue" tools respectively.
"Great ecosystem" is the primary reason why developers consider Hadoop over the competitors, whereas "Fast" was stated as the key factor in picking ZeroMQ.
Hadoop and ZeroMQ are both open source tools. Hadoop with 9.27K GitHub stars and 5.78K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than ZeroMQ with 5.34K GitHub stars and 1.57K GitHub forks.
According to the StackShare community, Hadoop has a broader approval, being mentioned in 237 company stacks & 127 developers stacks; compared to ZeroMQ, which is listed in 35 company stacks and 12 developer stacks.
