An Amazon EMR release is a set of open-source applications from the big-data ecosystem. Each release comprises different big-data applications, components, and features that you select to have Amazon EMR install and configure when you create a cluster. Applications are packaged using a system based on Apache BigTop, which is an open-source project associated with the Hadoop ecosystem. This guide provides information for applications included in Amazon EMR releases.
