Business, within the enterprise, doesn't care if data sits on #Hadoop or a toaster oven, they just want to do something new and interesting - generally along the lines of advanced/predictive #Analytics - to learn something NEW
Enterprises looking for a slow transition to #Hadoop as the de facto "Data Lake" (to use @Hortonworks term); this will enable them to keep the current stable of #BI Tools up and running with minimal disruption to business users
The question for Hadoop distributions for the data lake use case is what is the time frame for the data lake? For an organization to have a long-term data lake you need Hadoop to provide full HA, data protection, and DR features
Not #Hadoop by itself - but the ecosystem conquers all. Combining an effective SQL on Hadoop tool (like @Kognitio) as a platform between HDFS and business apps fuels an easy integration
Definitely agree and @MapR has the customers to prove this both in terms of large scale ETL and data warehouse offload and large scale operations (petabytes of data) and Hadoop is the system of record
#Hadoop 2.0 and YARN are moving the ball down the field, to borrow a football analogy - lots of work left to do but YARN provide foundation to making Hadoop a multi-purpose #BigData platform
YARN is fairly mature, hence the community GA moniker. i'm interested in the next wave of innovation for processing models that can build IN hadoop now.
Jeff Kelly by more work to be done, referring to adding streaming analytics and moving Hive off MapReduce - both coming, but YARN today is still a major development.
@MapR has done the most to think in terms of "Enterprise Readiness", but it seems that the biggest contingent of the #Hadoop Community is primarily locked-in on "opneness" as the principle important concept... opposite of @MapR approach.
Jeff Frick And I presume more enterprises are about getting their problems solved with a viable solution, and they're willing to pay for support, training, etc., traditional services
au contrair... the open community has a HUGE focus on enterprise readiness. they just do all their work in the open. open is a development vehicle as well.
OK...all the big enterprise whales...when they entered the Hadoop market said "our strategy is we're going to make Hadoop enterprise ready" - what about Hadoop needs enterprise readying?
That was the supposition, but did they get off track and start to make it about a business instead? The market has become so much more of a traditional commercial battle between vendors, with the new twist of who will get bought
Dave Vellante the451 put out some research saying administration tooling and performance top the gap list, followed by reliability, SQL support and backup & recovery
Dave Vellante also that , but development tools and authentication and access control are not far behind...of course it's all behind a firewall so I can't see the full results
the big things I hear from the Wikibon community are continuous availability, better security controls and easier-to-use management/monitoring capabilities.
