Can you explain how pipes, sockets, shared memory are used in Hadoop?

hi Sharon,

Pipes are used to pass the output of one command as an input to another. In *nix systems pipes can be used to chain multiple commands together.

Sockets are ports where applications listen. Few examples are the chat programs and master-slave programs which communicate through sockets.
