Does Microsoft Azure Machine Learning use Hadoop as its underlying layer?

Question

I'm going to use Microsoft Azure ML for some text analysis purposes such as keyword extraction and as the size of my input is big I want to know whether ML package actually uses the Hadoop (HDP) as its underlying layer or not? If not, how can I use the ML in combination with Hadoop?

Does Mahout have some text analysis tools?

Answer 1

Well you have tagged Azure ML Studio so I am guessing you will be using the studio and not the service. If you do not know the differences, then do have a look at this tutorial. 

You can import data from Hive Query but Azure ML Studio does not use Hadoop. And it is not a package but a platform. You can probably make samples of data in different chunks. 

You can use Azure HDInsight to analyze streaming or historical data.
