Hadoop and the Analytic Data Pipeline.TechReoublic.com, November 3,2016

There are several tools in the Hadoop ecosystem to handle and analyze data, but most of them focus only on a single part of the large process. Organizations need to review the complete analytics pipeline to make it better. The most common reason for the failed Hadoop implementations is lack of personnel with right big data and hadoop skills. It takes very long time to manually code process and integrating it with the existing systems. Pentaho published a whitepaper titled “Hadoop and the Analytic Data Pipeline” that highlights the key categories which need to be focused on - Big Data Ingestion, Transformation, Analytics, Solutions.

Power of Hadoop.Techfeatured.com,November 7,2016.

Apache Hadoop is based on Java and it is an open source software. It is used to run applications on large clustered hardware (servers). Hadoop is to increase from a single server to thousands of machines, with a very high improvement on fault tolerance. To handle the failures, rather than relying on high end hardwares, cluster softwares help detect the faults.

Hortonworks breaks free from death spiral, but cloud is still a threat.TechRepublic.com, November 8, 2016

Hortonworks valuation was in a death spiral dropping down from $1.1 billion to less than $400 million over the year because of deceptive  profitability and missed revenue.

Hadoop, we hardly knew ye. InfoWorld.com, November 16, 2016

Demand for Spark and cloud services is increasing as the demand for Hadoop services slows down. Hadoop was designed to be the next big thing moving into enterprises recently, but very soon it has reached to “peak Hadoop”. Hadoop has been killed by cloud in the enterprise IT or rather we can say that Hadoop has been moving so fast that it killed itself. Hadoop has not been completely fallen but it is still on the falling side. As Hadoop's data management capabilities are not yet being matched by Spark or any other big data cloud services, enterprises will end up using pieces of Hadoop a little.
