The Plan For This Week - 26/06/2017

So the plan for this week is to look at streaming data stores - Kafka, Pravega and maybe some of the cloud based services.

Message Ends.

Hadoop in the Cloud

So this week has been a bit of a scattergun - one technology (Cloudera Altus), three vendors (Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform - and yes, I know they’re not technically vendors) and one (refreshed) technology category (Hadoop Distributions) - with the overriding theme of thinking about Hadoop in the cloud.

The Plan For This Week - 19/06/2017

As promised we’re going to start of this week by looking at Cloudera Altus, and then, despite the fact I’ve said we’ll be looking at different technology categories going forward, I want to send a few days summarising the capabilities available from AWS, Azure and Google Cloud (because I have a bunch of notes I want to write up). I then plan to close the week by actually doing what I said we’d be doing and adding a technology category, this time looking at Hadoop capabilities offered as a service (e.g. Altus), with a little rework on the Hadoop Distributions page at the same time.

Have a great week, and if you’re in the UK, try to stay cool.

The Week That Was - 16/06/2017

Let’s reminder ourselves of the plan for this week - Azure Data Lake Store, Druid, Cloudera Altus, Apache Superset and Pravega. How did I do? Three out of five.

I’ll come back to Cloudera Altus first thing next week, and Pravega by looking at streaming data stores in the near future, but this week ended up being dominated by serendipity and Hortonworks’ HDF 3.0 release (and their two new technologies - Schema Registry and Streaming Analytics Manager), and by a desire to have some content on some new and breaking stuff.

Oh, and this weeks news post ended up being a bit of a bumper post, with some stuff we need to dig into.
