I haven't done a price analysis specifically for HDP. However, when it was first introduced as Hadoop 2.0, there were a few use cases where the price was quite high. It was particularly expensive for Cloudera and Hortonworks Data Platform. Both options were quite resource-intensive. So, seven, or even nine or ten years ago, it was quite expensive.

I think it is priced well and it is affordable. Hadoop, which we use with the solution, is open-source. That part is free. We pay only for whatever wrappers Cloudera provides on top of the open-source product, Hadoop. I do not know about the actual pricing in total. The whole point of Hadoop is that it is open-source and they have created their own cluster. Cloudera is just the vendor that they are using. My guess is Hortonworks should not be expensive at all to those looking into using it.
The solution is comprehensible but it also depends on the customers and the customer's stability requirements. I know that Hortonworks is stable, but sometimes when you are talking with the customers, they wonder if Hortonworks is free, how can it be enterprise. But I explain that Hortonworks is open-source.
Hadoop architectures refer to the various design patterns and configurations used to implement Hadoop, an open-source framework for distributed storage and processing of large datasets.

Currently, we are using the product in a sandbox environment, and there is no licensing. We might choose a licensing option once we get the results.
The solution used to have a free tier. They have since taken that away, which is disappointing.
