    Apache
    It is extremely well suited to rapid ingest of data from large data sources, due to the fact that you can restrict what is ingested by column/field, so that you only pull in the data you actually want or need.
    As stated earlier, the open source version could use better cluster management tools, and troubleshooting tools for failing jobs/tasks.
