<abstract>We live in the age of big data, where every data is linked to some data source. Digitally, it is difficult to calculate the amount of data. Big data refers to volumes of data in the range of petabytes and beyond. This amount of data exceeds the capacity of online storage and the processing systems. This data creation will cross the zettabyte/year range. The data mainly comes from twitter tweets, Facebook comments and so on. This type of data is normally in the form of images, video and different documents that are in unstructured form. For analysing this large amount of data, Hadoop platform is used which is fast and cost effective. In this paper, the authors have mainly focused on literature review and their challenges.</abstract>
