Hadoop News Updates for April

Cutting says Hadoop is not at its peak but at its starting stages. April 1, 2016. Datanami.com

At his keynote address in San Jose, Strata+Hadoop World 2016, Doug Cutting said that Hadoop is not at its peak and not going to phase out. Hadoop is still undergoing digital mutations and the experts are considering it to be in its starting stages. Cutting admits that with HDFS and MapReduce, maybe Hadoop has reached its peak. But there are so many developments still happening on Hadoop – which makes it the goto technology in open source for data analysis and storage.

Marketshare redoes its Hadoop Deployment with a complete overhaul. April 6, 2016. ZDNet.com

Most companies know what Hadoop is used for – but more often than not – they fail to implement it correctly causing loss of time and data that is crucial to business needs. Marketshare found this out the hard way. Marketshare earlier used Amazon’s EMR, and paired it with Oracle database and Tableau. In 2014, Marketshare shifted to using Altiscale. Right now they are in the process of moving to Arcadia data.

Hadoop is the example that future open source technologies go by in the Big Data space, as it exemplifies the pitfalls and promises of open source. April 18, 2016. Computing.co.uk

The leader in Hadoop distribution, Hortonworks said, in the recent Hadoop Summit, at Dublin, that they are set to become profitable at the end of this year. They are hopeful at becoming a cashflow positive company by the end of 2016. Any technology that is open source will enjoy a healthy bottom-line but the marketing costs are huge. Many open source technologies are now following suit. Apache Spark is a great example of this Hadoop zoo which has gained unprecedented momentum.
