hadoop-pcap
A Hadoop library for reading and processing packet capture (PCAP) files in MapReduce jobs and Hive queries.
What is hadoop-pcap?
Hadoop PCAP is a library that enables reading and processing packet capture (PCAP) files within the Hadoop ecosystem. It allows network engineers and security analysts to perform distributed analysis of network traffic data using MapReduce jobs and Hive queries. The project solves the problem of scaling PCAP analysis to handle large datasets typical in modern network monitoring.
Network engineers, security researchers, and data analysts working with large-scale network traffic data who need to process PCAP files using Hadoop-based big data pipelines.
Developers choose Hadoop PCAP because it provides native integration of PCAP file processing into the Hadoop ecosystem, eliminating the need for custom data conversion pipelines. Its Hive SerDe component allows querying packet data with familiar SQL-like syntax, making network analysis more accessible to data teams.
