Apache Falcon solves enterprise challenges related to Hadoop data replication, business continuity, and lineage tracing by deploying a framework for data management and processing. The Falcon framework can also leverage other HDP components, such as Apache Pig, Apache Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS), Apache Sqoop, Apache Hive, Apache Spark, and Apache Oozie. Falcon enables this simplified management by providing a framework to define and manage backup, replication, and data transfer.

Hadoop administrators can use the Falcon View to centrally define, schedule, and monitor data management policies. Falcon uses those definitions to auto-generate workflows in Apache Oozie.
