Hadoop:

  • Another successful open source project is Hadoop which is considered one of the latest programming tools for data scientists for dealing with big data; it means that the dataset is very large, which is not possible to handle using the traditional database management system.
  • Hadoop is known as one of the big data tools and it is free and a successful open source project.

MySQL:

  • MySQL is one of the most popular database servers and one of the successful open source projects that has been used in many websites including Wikipedia, Facebook etc.

Apache Spark:

  • It can also be considered as one of the latest successful open source project that has distributed data processing capabilities for processing huge amount of data sets within a small period of time for dealing with big data.

Four reasons for programmers to contribute to open source projects:

  • Improved coding skills can be achieved.
  • The programmers will get more experience and can get chance to learn new things from other developers who are currently working in the project.
  • Another reason for contributing to the open source software is freedom to make new things.
  • Another reason for contributing to open source software is to increase the peer recognition and to enjoy while developing any software product based on some specific needs and requirements...

Add a new class Checking Account that inherits from the BankAccount class, and has a double instance variable overdraftLimit in addition to the variables inherited from the superclass. Create a constructor for the Checking Account class that takes in the account number, account holder name, initial balance, account type and overdraft limit as input, and uses the super keyword to call the constructor of the superclass, passing in the account number, account holder name and initial balance, account type. Re-write the withdraw() method in the CheckingAccount class so that it first checks if the withdrawal amount is less than the current balance plus the overdraft limit. If it is, the withdrawal is allowed and the balance is updated. If not, the method should return an error message "Insufficient funds". Create a new method displayOverdraft Limit() that returns the overdraft limit of the Checking Account. In the BankAccountTest class, create a new object of type Checking Account with…
