HDFS is the Hadoop distributed file system for big data storage, storing blocks with replication on commodity machines, managed by a name node, data nodes, and a secondary name node.

Hbase is a NoSQL database in the Hadoop ecosystem enabling real-time processing on HDFS with a column-family model and random access, scalable to petabytes, but it does not support transactions.

Cassandra, an Apache open source key-value database, uses a ring architecture with no master or slave, delivering high fault tolerance, availability, and linear scalability with eventual consistency.

MongoDB is an opensource document oriented No-SQL database storing data as JSON documents with embedded objects and supports horizontal scaling; Impala provides scalable real-time SQL on Hadoop, but is read-only.

Map reduce forms the backbone of distributed processing by filtering and grouping data, while Pig and Hive provide data flow and SQL-like capabilities for big data analytics.

Spark enables applying machine learning to business data, including customer segmentation by buying behavior and product segmentation by profit margins, plus predicting sales, detecting security frauds, and forecasting loan defaults.

Storm processes streaming data in real time, parsing logs and saving to HDFS as Hive tables with spouts and bolts, enabling alerts and parallel processing from Kafka messages.

Select a big data tool such as Hadoop, Pig, or Hive for transformation needs. Use Spark for classification, regression, or clustering; rely on Storm for real-time streaming data.
