The document discusses Oracle In-Database Hadoop, which allows users to run Hadoop MapReduce jobs on data stored in an Oracle database. It aims to avoid having to move data to a separate Hadoop cluster, while preserving the Hadoop programming model. MapReduce jobs are implemented as pipelined table functions written in Java, allowing the jobs to be integrated with SQL queries and leverage existing database skills. The goal is to make it easier for enterprises to adopt Hadoop by reducing infrastructure dependencies and enabling security and management using existing database tools.
