Question: Is Hadoop overrated? Can Hortonworks and Cloudera build huge business or will they be a feature of something much bigger?

that is relevant to our third topic -- stay tuned!

why can't both happen? Yes, Hadoop is just one component in the larger modern data architecture, but its a critical component.

the success (or not) of Hadoop vendors will be based much more on developing profitable/scalable biz model for open source software, not a referendum on the importance of Hadoop as a technology

@jeffreyfkelly You called it over two years ago Jeff- the value will be in the ecosystem not pure play vendors. I see this playing out. #bigdata isn't just about Hadoop

@jeffreyfkelly I think you are both right- #bigdata co's can build large businesses because the TAM is so huge - but the real value (biggest hits) will come from outside the vendor base

Hadoop and Spark have value, but distributed computing generally may be overused--seems possible to scale up at a linear cost to dozens of nodes through reverse virtualization and rack optimization: https://www.youtube....

TidalScale claims they enable their small clusters to look and operate as a single machine, incl. single machine software.

@AlanMorrison sounds like a mainframe which now is the cloud

getting teams in place for Hadoop is wrong approach just to have "big data" capabilities; just pick a project and go with it says host @CenturyLinkENT
