Hadoop de Loop in the Cloud
June 30, 2010
Navigate to “Cloudera Goes Enterprise with New Hadoop Offering.” Is this another cloud thing? Not in my little goose pond. Cloudera is positioning itself as a platform vendor. And a platform vendors offers lots of hand holding and neck rubbing services. My view is that Cloudera has made a smart move. For me, the most important point in the write up is:
For Cloudera’s part, Olson [Cloudera wiazard] said it believes companies want–and are willing to pay for–user and group authentication and roles, visual tools for managing large numbers of data feeds into a cluster, and other management tools that are important for conventional IT staff with critical applications who need easy-to-use dashboards. But Cloudera isn’t straying from its open-source roots.
Clever stuff and important because Cloudera can slap on other functions and features. The opportunity to disrupt high end vendors is a big one. That’s one reason why I am helping to organize the presentations at the Lucene Revolution conference which will focus on Lucene and Solr. I want to see what the momentum is and try to figure out where the shock waves will impact.
