I want to analyze big data in distributed environment. HADOOP is one of the tools which can be used. I would like to know how HADOOP can be used in a windows system.
If you are okay with using Virtual Machines, I recommend using MapR VM which you can run on Windows. The MapR VM has Linux OS + all Hadoop related frameworks.
According to Vinita Jindal Madam, it is also possible to use VMWare. Install Ubuntu and then try for hadoop installation. Please find following attachments for Single-Node and Multi-Node Cluster Hadoop configuration... and enjoy Hadoop.....
You can install VMWare in windows and then install Ubuntu operating System and then try it for hadoop.. Hadoop is a open source software available in http://hadoop.apache.org.
As I mentioned in a previous answer, it is not recommended to install Hadoop on Windows. But if you need to do so, you can refer to this article that I recently published on Towards Data Science: https://towardsdatascience.com/installing-hadoop-3-2-1-single-node-cluster-on-windows-10-ac258dd48aef
Also, you can check this article where I explained why not to install Hadoop on Windows: https://medium.com/@hadi.fadlullah/reasons-to-not-install-hadoop-on-windows-5bf22f3f0005
