I recommend [Hortonworks Data Platform] as Big Data platform in order to start your developments. It's free. It's easy to use. You can install in more server or use a sandbox with you favorite virtualization platform ( vmware or oracle virtualbox). There is also a containerized version.
Manage our data in hdfs is simple; you can interact with server with REST API.

All in all, it is a great product and a convenient way of getting a lot of components for big data installed and configured. It provides components for most things you want to perform in ingesting, streaming and setting up for analytics. It also does a great job with the dashboard tool by integrating Grafana and providing dashboards for most components used. It helps users get a great visual on the state of data.
I can't imagine any cases where you have needs for big data where HDP won't be suited well, as it is as good a platform in that domain as Cloudera or MapR, and should be able to meet your needs.

We used Hortonworks within our Medical Informatics department to validate possibility of using big data tools and platforms in the field of patient monitoring and near-real time pattern detection. Although our efforts weren't in production, it was demonstrated that Hortonworks provides good computational efficiency, stability to be used in a mission critical businesses such as healthcare services and patient care.

It is best used where organizations need to build a data lake from scratch, leveraging its capabilities for ingesting huge volumes from a vast number of different sources -including sensors, logs, text, transactional systems and more.

However, if you just want to try a data science use case, think about if your volume demands such deployment.

Hortonworks Data Platform is well suited:
  • If you require the newest releases and capabilities and are prepared to upgrade frequently
  • If you want full, cell level, ticketing and perimeter security
  • If you want metadata, streaming and other PLUS component capabilities
If you are not prepared to do upgrades at least on a quarterly basis, DO NOT use Hortonworks. If you have a very plain vanilla implementation, you might want to look at pure open source Hadoop.

I find HDP easy to use and solves most of the problems for people looking to manage their big data. Evaluating the Hortonworks Data Platform is easy as it is free to download and install in your cluster. Single node cluster available as Sandbox is also easy for POCs.

The key question is does it have an exit plan. Once you use proprietary software, it's very difficult to change platforms and you must pay an annual fee. Hortonworks Data Platform is 100% open source and you can change the platform without worrying about a contract.
