HDInsight SDK Reference Documentation

The topics in this section describe the public namespaces, classes, and interfaces that support the Microsoft Azure HDInsight (Hadoop) Service, Hadoop on Parallel Data Warehouse (PDW) appliances, and the Microsoft Avro Library for data serialization.

The client classes are used to manage Hadoop jobs on Azure and on PDW appliances. The management classes are used to configure the clusters, storage accounts, MapReduce programs, and the HBase, Hive, Pig, Sqoop, and Oozie components associated with the HDInsight clusters for a Windows Azure subscription.

The Microsoft Avro Library is an implementation of the Avro data serialization system. It employs rich, JSON-defined data structures and an object container to store persistent data. The Avro data format can be processed by many languages: C, C++, C#, Java, PHP, Python, and Ruby are currently supported.
