Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature is scalability and the possibility to work with major information and open source capability.""One valuable feature is that we can download data.""As compared to Hive on MapReduce, Impala on MPP returns results of SQL queries in a fairly short amount of time, and is relatively fast when reading data into other platforms like R.""The best thing about this solution is that it is very powerful and very cheap.""Two valuable features are its scalability and parallel processing. There are jobs that cannot be done unless you have massively parallel processing.""Initially, with RDBMS alone, we had a lot of work and few servers running on-premise and on cloud for the PoC and incubation. With the use of Hadoop and ecosystem components and tools, and managing it in Amazon EC2, we have created a Big Data "lab" which helps us to centralize all our work and solutions into a single repository. This has cut down the time in terms of maintenance, development and, especially, data processing challenges.""The ability to add multiple nodes without any restriction is the solution's most valuable aspect.""The scalability of Apache Hadoop is very good."

"It's stable and reliable.""The most valuable feature is the ease of uploading data from multiple sources.""The ease of deployment is useful so clients are up and running quickly in comparison to other products."

Cons
"General installation/dependency issues were there, but were not a major, complex issue. While migrating data from MySQL to Hive, things are a little challenging, but we were able to get through that with support from forums and a little trial and error.""It would be good to have more advanced analytics tools.""It requires a great deal of learning curve to understand. The overall Hadoop ecosystem has a large number of sub-products. There is ZooKeeper, and there are a whole lot of other things that are connected. In many cases, their functionalities are overlapping, and for a newcomer or our clients, it is very difficult to decide which of them to buy and which of them they don't really need. They require a consulting organization for it, which is good for organizations such as ours because that's what we do, but it is not easy for the end customers to gain so much knowledge and optimally use it.""I would like to see more direct integration of visualization applications.""Real-time data processing is weak. This solution is very difficult to run and implement.""It would be helpful to have more information on how to best apply this solution to smaller organizations, with less data, and grow the data lake.""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.""We would like to have more dynamics in merging this machine data with other internal data to make more meaning out of it."

"It is hard for some of our users to set up rules for cleansing and transforming data, so this is something that could be improved.""From my perspective, it would be good if they gave better ITIN/R plugins to use the data for AI modeling, or data science modeling. We can do it now; however, it could be more elegant in terms of interfacing.""There are some ways that the handling of unstructured data could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Do take into consider that data storage and compute capacity scale differently and hence purchasing a "boxed" / 'all-in-one" solution (software and hardware) might not be the best idea."
  • "​There are no licensing costs involved, hence money is saved on the software infrastructure​."
  • "This is a low cost and powerful solution."
  • "The price of Apache Hadoop could be less expensive."
  • "If my company can use the cloud version of Apache Hadoop, particularly the cloud storage feature, it would be easier and would cost less because an on-premises deployment has a higher cost during storage, for example, though I don't know exactly how much Apache Hadoop costs."
  • "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."
  • "The price could be better. Hortonworks no longer exists, and Cloudera killed the free version of Hadoop."
  • "We just use the free version."

  • "The product cost is high for what the client gets. There may be more cost-effective solutions for small and medium-sized organizations."

    Overview
    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.

    SQL-MapReduce is a framework created by Teradata Aster to allow developers to write powerful and highly expressive SQL-MapReduce functions in languages such as Java, C#, Python, C++, and R and push them into the discovery platform for high performance analytics. Analysts can then invoke SQL-MapReduce functions using standard SQL or R through Aster Database, the first discovery platform that allows applications to be fully embedded within the database engine to enable ultra-fast, deep analysis of massive data sets.
