Why Choose Hadoop?
So our Hadoop Distros week is going to be a bit longer than a week, but hey, we’re all flexible and adaptable right?
Today I’d like to spout some thoughts about why you might consider Hadoop, and I’d like to start but looking at it’s history.
Hadoop Distros Week
We’ve now finished looking at the major players in the Hadoop distributions space, so I’d like to take this week to look at Hadoop and Hadoop distributions in a bit more detail, and flesh out our Hadoop Distributions page.
The Week That Was - 05/05/2017
It’s nearly the weekend, which means it’s time to summarise the week.
We started late this week (let’s hear it for public holidays), finishing off our look at MapR, before taking a quick look at Cloudera’s Data Science Workbench. No technology summary today, but we’ll take a look at Apache Metron as part of this post.

So, I failed at the first hurdle in trying to do this weekly, however let’s carry on regardless.
This week - new products from Cloudera and Hortonworks, a bunch of Hortonworks and Cloudera releases that got missed last time, plus a collection of blog posts I’ve been collecting for a while.

Time for our weekly round up of the week again.
We finished off the new open source technologies in the MapR Ecosystem Pack at the beginning of the week, looking at Apache Myriad, which support running YARN over Mesos.
We then looked at MapR Monitoring, a collection of open source components for collecting and visualising metrics and log files across the MapR ecosystem.
And we finished the week with a look at the meat of MapR’s offering - MapR-FS, and the fist of it’s sub-projects MapR-DB
