Hadoop Version 2: One Step Closer to the Big Data Goal
The wait for Hadoop 2.0 ended yesterday when the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) announced the availability of the new big data platform. Among the most anticipated features is the new YARN scheduler, which will make it easier for users to run different workloads--such as MapReduce, HBase, SQL, graph analysis, and stream processing--on the same hardware, and all at the same time. Better availability and scalability, and a smoother upgrade process, round out the new platform, as Hadoop creator Doug Cutting explains, but still not everybody is happy with Hadoop. Read more…
