Running summarization and data analytics on captured data is carried out using the BAM analytics framework. The analytics framework is powered by Apache Hadoop for scaling out data processing operations on a large number of data processing nodes, in order to handle large data volumes. For writing analytic scripts, a language similar to SQL (HiveQL) is provided using integrated Apache Hive.
For information on Apache Hadoop, refer to: http://hadoop.apache.org.
Apache Hadoop requires Cygwin in order to run on Windows. Therefore, ensure that at least base, net (OpenSSH, tcp_wrapper packages) and security related Cygwin packages are installed if you are working on Windows. After installing Cygwin, update your PATH variable by appending ";C:\cygwin\bin". The default installation of Cygwin may not work.
For information on Cygwin, refer to: http://www.cygwin.com.
