Description Social networks, their increasing popularity reaching hundreds of million users, demand advance software architecture. Countless requests per second necessitate flexible and utmost efficiency and high performance. This article is focused on development of such a web-based service offering social functionality to end users, but from the technology point of view represents state-of-the-art in current usage of the latest technologies. Those technologies mentioned further are often used for the first time in such a complex project. High volume data distribution is handled by Apache Hadoop framework together with Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) and MapReduce. Therewithal, non-relational distributed database HBase and Memcached tool ensures scalability and high throughput helping with often accessed information.
