Cataloged from PDF version of thesis report. Includes bibliographical references (page 46). The everlasting necessity to process data is only becoming more and more challenging due to the exponential growth of the data itself. We are talking about exabytes, zettabytes and even yottabytes of data; generally referred to as Big Data. Hence, the conventional processing methods of data have become obsolete when handling Big Data. It is simply not feasible to use a single machine to analyze data of such tremendous volume. This is where Hadoop comes in. Simply put, using the Hadoop Distributive File System (HDFS), an enormous chunk of data can be divided into smaller pieces and be distributed amongst multiple machines referred to as nodes to parallel process them using a technique called MapReduce. The potential for such a concept is limitless. However, for our thesis, we have used the HDFS to identify similarities between multiple documents. The initial idea was to make an algorithm to detect full or partial plagiarism in documents as there are countless materials of interest readily available on the internet. However, upon successfully being able to implement an algorithm for the English language, we realized that there is no record of any work on document similarity detection carried on upon Bangla language. Therefore, with some modifications to our existing algorithm to fit our specifications (as the Bangla language is completely different from the English language as far as construction is concerned), we were able to develop an algorithm to detect document similarities on a broad scale using the Ferret model.
