Laravel是一套简洁、优雅的PHP Web开发框架(PHP Web Framework)。它可以让你从面条一样杂乱的代码中解脱出来；它可以帮你构建一个完美的网络APP，而且每行代码都可以简洁、富于表达力。
Hadoop是一个由Apache基金会所开发的分布式系统基础架构。
用户可以在不了解分布式底层细节的情况下，开发分布式程序。充分利用集群的威力进行高速运算和存储。
Hadoop实现了一个分布式文件系统（Hadoop Distributed File System），简称HDFS。HDFS有高容错性的特点，并且设计用来部署在低廉的（low-cost）硬件上；而且它提供高吞吐量（high throughput）来访问应用程序的数据，适合那些有着超大数据集（large data set）的应用程序。HDFS放宽了（relax）POSIX的要求，可以以流的形式访问（streaming access）文件系统中的数据。
Hadoop的框架最核心的设计就是：HDFS和MapReduce。HDFS为海量的数据提供了存储，则MapReduce为海量的数据提供了计算。
