Opinion mining, which extracts meaningful opinion information from large amounts of social multimedia data, has recently arisen as a research area. In particular, opinion mining has been used to understand the true meaning and intent of social networking site users. It requires efficient techniques to collect a large amount of social multimedia data and extract meaningful information from them. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a method to extract sentiment information from various types of unstructured social media text data from social networks by using a parallel Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) to save social multimedia data and using MapReduce functions for sentiment analysis. The proposed method has stably performed data gathering and data loading and maintained stable load balancing of memory and CPU resources during data processing by the HDFS system. The proposed MapReduce functions have effectively performed sentiment analysis in the experiments. Finally, the sentiment analysis results of the proposed system are very close to those of manual processes.
