A company currently has a Hadoop cluster setup on top of AWS EMR. They now have a requirement to carry out some Machine Learning algorithms on the existing data. Which of the following can be used on top of Hadoop for this purpose?

Answer options:

A.HBase
B.Livy
C.Zeppelin
D.Mahout

Answer – D
The AWS Documentation mentions the following
Mahout is a machine learning library with tools for clustering, classification, and several types of recommenders, including tools to calculate most-similar items or build item recommendations for users. Mahout employs the Hadoop framework to distribute calculations across a cluster, and now includes additional work distribution methods, including Spark.
Option A is incorrect since this is used as an open source, non-relational, distributed database developed as part of the Apache Software Foundation`s Hadoop project
Option B is incorrect since this is used for interaction over a REST interface with an EMR cluster running Spark
Option C is incorrect since this is used as a notebook for interactive data exploration
