If all you're trying to analyze is 20 gigs you don't need Hadoop. I suggest loading it into an SQL database and crunching on a desktop box. If the point is to setup and use Hadoop, on Digital Ocean you can rent a requisite cluster for about the price of a latte.

Also -- don't use raw Hadoop, use Spark/Shark.

For another fun tool -- google BigQuery.

Hi,

We are looking for a Hadoop Cluster to analyze data related to airlines
ontime arrival for Dr. Borne's CS695 class.

Wondering if anyone can point us to a Hadoop cluster on campus to do
this? I remember that we have a shared computing resource in the
university that we can use.

Best,
Sachin
