Could we call hadoop a distributed OS?
Or it just a distributed application?How we can learn more about the design
ideas of Hadoop.Thanks

It could be defined as a middleware in a broad sense. But I don't think this
is still a good definition of hadoop. It is a collection of distributed
tools for large data processing.

HADOOP is not a distributed OS. It requires some OS on
which it can be run. Also its not an application. Its a
platform for running applications on the grid. There are certain class of
applications (like the ones to do with web) that can make use of this
platform (service) to run data intensive applications that have inherent
parallelism, on the grid. According to me appropriate classification would
be a distributed computing software.
