Cloudera Releases Search Application

July 17, 2013

Cloudera is joining the ranks of those who offer open source enterprise search solutions. They are powering the new offering, Cloudera Search, with Apache Solr and combining with the storage of Hadoop. Read more in “Introducing Cloudera Search.”

The introduction begins:

“Powered by Apache Solr™, the enterprise standard for open source search, Cloudera Search integrates with the 100% open source Big Data platform, CDH, to bring scale and reliability for a new generation of search – Big Data search.

Speed to Resolution: Get to answers quickly with user-friendly search and drill-down navigation and find relevant data across large, disparate data stores of mixed format and structure.

Accelerated Exploration: Discover the “shape of data” quickly and easily during modeling and data exploration with faceted search interfaces and free-text query APIs.”

There are many more features that are covered in the remaining write-up. Readers can find more information by registering for a free webinar or viewing an introductory video. It is not surprising that Cloudera wants to expand their market share by moving into enterprise search. LucidWorks has had much success in this area, building their products on Apache Solr as well, combining it with emerging technologies like Hadoop. So while Cloudera’s news is exciting, and shows great momentum in the market, industry-vetted solutions like LucidWorks might be the tried and true option.
