This document discusses using Hadoop to analyze weather data. It analyzes weather data from the National Climatic Data Center to find the maximum temperature for each year. The Hadoop architecture includes HDFS for distributed storage and MapReduce for parallel processing. Weather records are input to mappers and key-value pairs of years and temperatures are output. Reducers take these pairs to find the maximum temperature for each year, such as 280 for 2010. The document concludes Hadoop is well-suited for processing large sensor data sets like weather data stored at NCDC.
