    Apache
    Software work execution is on a large scale, it is good to use for new projects or organizational changes, data lineage mapping has always been dubious but this one has had good results. You can store and synchronize data from different departments, the storage process can be manual but it is best automated.

    Oracle
    Oracle Exadata is well-suited for environments where massive performance for Oracle databases is required. Storage indexes reduce the unnecessary I/O. Smart Flash
    Cache accelerates random reads/writes.

    Our OLTP application demands very high concurrency. Multi-node Exadata provides high availability and zero downtime during DB patching. It comes with lots of built-in automations, so it reduces many routine tasks for sysadmins, like network, storage, and VM configuration, and it also reduces many Oracle DBA tasks, like Oracle software installation, patching, and upgrades.

    Pros
    Apache
    • Apache Hive allows use to write expressive solutions to complex problems thanks to its SQL-like syntax.
    • Relatively easy to set up and start using.
    • Very little ramp-up to start using the actual product, documentation is very thorough, there is an active community, and the code base is constantly being improved.

    Oracle
    • Oracle Database : Deliver industry-leading security, high availability and scalability with Oracle Database, which has been significantly enhanced to take advantage of the Oracle Exadata Storage Servers.
    • Exadata Smart Scan : Improve query performance by offloading intensive query processing and data mining scoring to scalable intelligent storage servers.
    • Smart Flash Cache : Transparently cache 'hot' read and write data to fast solid-state storage, improving query response times and throughput. Exadata systems use the latest PCI flash technology rather than flash disks. PCI flash delivers ultra-high performance by placing flash directly on the high speed PCI bus rather than behind slow disk controllers.
    • Hybrid Columnar Compression : Reduce the size of data warehousing tables by 10x, and archive tables by 50x, to improve performance and lower storage costs for primary, standby, and backup databases. Query high, query low, archive high and archive low.
    • Infiniband Network : Connect multiple Oracle Exadata Database Machines using the InfiniBand fabric to form a larger single system image configuration. Each InfiniBand link provides 40 Gigabits of bandwidth–many times higher than traditional storage or server networks.
    • Petabyte Scalability : Easily scale data warehouse to support enterprise data growth.

    Cons
    Apache
    • Some queries, particularly complex joins, are still quite slow and can take hours
    • Previous jobs and queries are not stored sometimes
    • Switching to Impala can sometimes be time-consuming (i.e. the system hangs, or is slow to respond).
    • Sometimes, directories and tables don't load properly which causes confusion

    Oracle
    • The process of patching and upgrade of Exadata server components could be improved with a goal to minimize the overall effort, make it fully automated and transparent.
    • Improved guidelines and possibly more sophisticated tools for sizing of new Exadata servers for migration from old legacy hardware.

    Usability
    Apache
    Hive is a very good big data analysis and ad-hoc query platform, which supports scaling also. The BI processes can be easily integrated with Hadoop via the Hive. It can deal with a much larger data set that traditional RDBMS can not. It is a "must-have" component of the big data domain.

    Oracle
    I am comparing Exadata with the Oracle RAC database experience. In addition to Oracle RAC features, Exadata provides automatic performance optimization through Smart Scan and storage indexes. Deep integration with the Oracle ecosystem and tight coupling with Oracle Enterprise Manager
    for monitoring and management. Some downsides of Exadata are: a steep learning curve, concepts like cell offloading, IORM, and flash cache behavior aren’t intuitive initially. Operating
    Exadata requires specialized DBA skills.

    Apache Hive is a FOSS project and its open source. We need not definitely comment on anything about the support of open source and its developer community. But, it has got tremendous developer support, awesome documentation. I would justify the fact that much support can be gathered from the community backup.

    Besides Hive, I have used Google BigQuery, which is costly but have very high computation speed. Amazon Redshift is the another product, I used in my recent organisation. Both Redshift and BigQuery are managed solution whereas Hive needs to be managed

    Oracle Exadata Database Machine had the best performance overall hands down. It clearly beat the competition and we were seeing 1000X improvement on SAP HANA. Oracle Exadata Database Machine beat that without us refactoring our code. To achieve that in HANA, we had to refactor the code somewhat. Now this was for our limited POC of 5 use cases. Given the large number of stored procedures we had in Sybase, we need to capture more production metrics but we are seeing incredible performance.

    Return on Investment
    Apache
    • Apache hive is secured and scalable solution that helps in increasing the overall organization productivity.
    • Apache hive can handle and process large amount of data in a sufficient time manner.
    • It simplifies writing SQL queries, hence helping the organization as most companies use SQL for all query jobs.

    Oracle
    • Single support from a single vendor with both machine and database from Oracle, which is costing us less.
    • With Exadata, we need less technical manpower and less technical support. A business transaction with the integrated and centralized database helps us focus on other business needs.
    • We don't need to buy additional licenses and Hardware for the next 3 to 5 years.
