What is Apache Hadoop?UNIXBusinessApplication
Price:

The Apache Hadoop project develops open-source software for reliable, scalable, distributed computing. The Apache Hadoop software library is a framework that allows for the distributed processing of large data sets across clusters of computers using simple programming models. It is designed to scale up from single servers to thousands of machines, each offering local computation and storage. Rather than rely on hardware to deliver high-availability, the library itself is designed to detect and handle failures at the application layer, so delivering a highly-available service on top of a cluster of computers, each of which may be prone to failures.

What could be improved in Apache Hadoop is its user-friendliness. It's not that user-friendly, but maybe it's because I'm new to it. Sometimes it feels so tough to use, but it could be because of two aspects: one is my incompetency, for example, I don't know about all the features of Apache Hadoop, or maybe it's because of the limitations of the platform. For example, my team is maintaining the business glossary in Apache Atlas, but if you want to change any settings at the GUI level, an advanced level of coding or programming needs to be done in the back end, so it's not user-friendly.

Key learnings from peers

Last updated Apr 3, 2024

Valuable Features

"The tool's stability is good."
"Hadoop File System is compatible with almost all the query engines."
"It's open-source, so it's very cost-effective."

Room for Improvement

"The load optimization capabilities of the product are an area of concern where improvements are required."
"In certain cases, the configurations for dealing with data skewness do not make any sense."
"The main thing is the lack of community support. If you want to implement a new API or create a new file system, you won't find easy support."

Pricing

"We just use the free version."
"The price could be better. Hortonworks no longer exists, and Cloudera killed the free version of Hadoop."
"We don't directly pay for it. Our clients pay for it, and they usually don't complain about the price. So, it is probably acceptable."

These insights are based on the in-depth reviews provided by peers to help you make a better buying decision.
