Alluxio vs. Amazon EMR (Elastic MapReduce)

We were able to deploy various applications using this and the memory io feature also helped in high-end results. The overall feel and global namespace help in deploying server-side API translations. We can expect greater heights as and when simplified with cloud gives a boon to all.

We are running it to perform preparation which takes a few hours on EC2 to be running on a spark-based EMR cluster to total the preparation inside minutes rather than a few hours. Ease of utilization and capacity to select from either Hadoop or spark. Processing time diminishes from 5-8 hours to 25-30 minutes compared with the Ec2 occurrence and more in a few cases.

• It's open source hence brilliant to work with.
• Memory speed IO is great and helps achieve speed.
• Simplified cloud infra is another benefit.

• Amazon Elastic MapReduce works well for managing analyses that use multiple tools, such as Hadoop and Spark. If it were not for the fact that we use multiple tools, there would be less need for MapReduce.
• MapReduce is always on. I've never had a problem getting data analyses to run on the system. It's simple to set up data mining projects.
• Amazon Elastic MapReduce has no problems dealing with very large data sets. It processes them just fine. With that said, the outputs don't come instantaneously. It takes time.

• Cost can be subsidised in case of long term.
• Easy to understand documents.

• Sometimes bootstrapping certain tools comes with debugging costs. The tools provided by some of the enterprise editions are great compared to EMR.
• Like some of the enterprise editions EMR does not provide on premises options.
• No UI client for saving the workbooks or code snippets. Everything has to go through submitting process. Not really convenient for tracking the job as well.

I give Amazon EMR this rating because while it is great at simplifying running big data frameworks, providing the Amazon EMR highlights, product details, and pricing information, and analyzing vast amounts of data, it can be run slow, freeze and glitch sometimes. So overall Amazon EMR is pretty good to use other than some basic issues.

There's a vast group of trained and certified (by AWS) professionals ready to work for anyone that needs to implement, configure or fix EMR. There's also a great amount of documentation that is accessible to anyone who's trying to learn this. And there's also always the help of AWS itself. They have people ready to help you analyze your needs and then make a recommendation.

Snowflake is a lot easier to get started with than the other options. Snowflake's data lake building capabilities are far more powerful. Although Amazon EMR isn't our first pick, we've had an excellent experience with EC2 and S3. Because of our current API interfaces, it made more sense for us to continue with Hadoop rather than explore other options.

• Got best user experience in house.
• Helped retain clients with better results.
• Got a better turnover.

• Positive: Helped process the jobs amazingly fast.
• Positive: Did not have to spend much time to learn the system, therefore, saving valuable research time.
• Negative: Not flexible for some scenarios, like when some plugins are required, or when the project has to be moved in-house.
