ActiveMQ vs Hadoop: What are the differences?
Developers describe ActiveMQ as "A message broker written in Java together with a full JMS client". Apache ActiveMQ is fast, supports many Cross Language Clients and Protocols, comes with easy to use Enterprise Integration Patterns and many advanced features while fully supporting JMS 1.1 and J2EE 1.4. Apache ActiveMQ is released under the Apache 2.0 License. On the other hand, Hadoop is detailed as "Open-source software for reliable, scalable, distributed computing". The Apache Hadoop software library is a framework that allows for the distributed processing of large data sets across clusters of computers using simple programming models. It is designed to scale up from single servers to thousands of machines, each offering local computation and storage.
ActiveMQ and Hadoop are primarily classified as "Message Queue" and "Databases" tools respectively.
"Open source" is the top reason why over 9 developers like ActiveMQ, while over 34 developers mention "Great ecosystem" as the leading cause for choosing Hadoop.
ActiveMQ and Hadoop are both open source tools. It seems that Hadoop with 9.27K GitHub stars and 5.78K forks on GitHub has more adoption than ActiveMQ with 1.51K GitHub stars and 1.05K GitHub forks.
According to the StackShare community, Hadoop has a broader approval, being mentioned in 237 company stacks & 127 developers stacks; compared to ActiveMQ, which is listed in 33 company stacks and 17 developer stacks.
