Lucene 4 Sought by Cloudera
June 10, 2013
Lucene 4 has been getting a lot of recent attention for its ability to power Big Data applications in the enterprise. Paired with Hadoop, Lucene is becoming one of the go-to solutions on the market as is competitive with commercial offerings as well. Lucene has caught the eye of Cloudera, and its Lucene-based Big Data solution is the focus of the ZD Net article, “Search for Big Data: Cloudera and Lucene get Hitched.”
After a discussion of Cloudera’s integration of Lucene, the author moves on to talk aobut the other major player in the Lucene realm, LucidWorks:
“LucidWorks, which has been the major commercial entity behind Lucene, also has a Hadoop-based search offering on the market, called LucidWorks Big Data. The latter is CDH-compatible and it’s integrated with MapR‘s Hadoop distribution. Admittedly, this could cause some market confusion, and it’s not obvious which search technology may be a more sound investment, given LucidWorks’ close association with the Lucene project.”
LucidWorks clearly has the initial advantage as it is an industry standard with more experience in the field. However, LucidWorks is also known for its award-winning support and training, as well as its adamant support of the open source community. We would not be surprised if LucidWorks reigns supreme in this category for many years to come.
