Holy Grail of Search and Big Data?
May 14, 2013
A Business Wire press release caught our eyes recently as it announced the distribution of LucidWorks Search with the MapR Platform for Apache Hadoop. “MapR Technologies Distributes Enterprise-Grade Search with Hadoop Platform” shares that now customers will have predictive analytics, search, discovery and advanced database operations at their fingertips on a single platform.
Integrating LucidWorks technology with MapR beefs up the added value that LucidWorks Search offers as far as security, connectivity and user management. Additionally, MapR announced that the M7 Edition is available; this combines unprecedented Hadoop and NoSQL capabilities together in one platform.
According to Ben Woo, managing director, Neuralytix:
“Integrating search capabilities into Hadoop is an important milestone for the industry and represents tremendous opportunity for customers to find new insight and derive value from Big Data. This is an enormous step forward especially in time-sensitive processes such as fraud detection where Big Data must be searched as it streams into the enterprise.”
MapR’s chief application architect tells us that using search and big data is not just about analyzing social media content and Web traffic. We wonder…big data and search: has the holy grail (or one of them) been found?
