We use Hortonworks Data Platform to analyze time-stamped sensor data with log data.
  • First, Hortonworks Data Platform is 100% open source and has no proprietary software. Thus, we don't need to worry about an exit plan.
  • Next, Hortonworks Data Platform is simple and well documented so that it is easy to implement clusters by following the documents.
  • Then, Hortonworks Data Platform updates new technologies for everyone as open source frequently.
  • And finally, it's easy to update new versions of Hortonworks Data Platform.
  • Hortonworks Data Platform only provides a Hadoop platform. You must build your application by yourself.
  • It is difficult to stream process data. Again, you must configure the stream data process by yourself.
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.
  • Ability to analyze data in a different format efficiently is a positive impact of using Hadoop.

Apache, Cloudera, MapR, and IBM.

Hortonworks Data Platform is more efficient to use than Apache since you don't need to configure everything by yourself. Again, Cloudera, MapR, and IBM is proprietary software.

100% Open Source.
I would not change the evaluation and selection process.
  • Implemented in-house
No
Change management was minimal
We implemented it for department use and there's no change of management.
  • Hadoop is very sensitive on name.
  • Better Static IP.
Try not to change variable names.
