Feed: Latest imported feed items on Analytics Matters. I’ve written before on the importance of people sharing data as broadly as possible in an organization. A company may have hundreds, or even thousands, of people with “analyst” in their job titles, but if you keep access to data centralized, you’re also keeping the capacity for innovation centralized — and limited. At the same time, simply opening up the data floodgates to your workforce, without a solid strategy, will create more confusion than success. The better approach is to package up the complexity into accessible tools — analytical applications — to ... Read More

Feed: Hadoop – Cloudera Engineering Blog. Author: Justin Kestelyn. History teaches us that ecosystem growth is fueled by enthusiasm, tools (including frameworks and APIs), and knowledge in roughly equal measures. To this point, the Apache Hadoop ecosystem has been blessed with the first two ingredients – thanks to the magic of open source – but in the third category, there is still plenty of work to be done. For Cloudera, our Academic Partnership program is a major part of that effort. Through that program, accredited nonprofit universities around the world get access to Cloudera’s own Hadoop curriculum for their computer ... Read More

Feed: Hadoop – Cloudera Engineering Blog. Author: Justin Kestelyn. One of the first questions Cloudera customers raise when getting started with Apache Hadoop is how to select appropriate hardware for their new Hadoop clusters. Although Hadoop is designed to run on industry-standard hardware, recommending an ideal cluster configuration is not as easy as delivering a list of hardware specifications. Selecting hardware that provides the best balance of performance and economy for a given workload requires testing and validation. (For example, users with IO-intensive workloads will invest in more spindles per core.) In this blog post, you’ll learn some of the ... Read More

Feed: Big Data Made Simple - One source. Many perspectives.. Author: Baiju NT. The data analyst person of mystery is widely courted, and big data is becoming one of those buzzwords. You know the ones. According to Ramesh Dontha, everyone talks about big data, but few understand it. This causes any number of strange reactions, from those who pretend to get it for the IT street cred, to professional analysts disagreeing about the details of its definition. If you’re looking to break into a career in IT, or switch up your focus, becoming an analyst and researching the role of ... Read More

Feed: Hadoop – Cloudera Engineering Blog. Author: Justin Kestelyn. The ecosystem is evolving at a rapid pace – so rapidly, that important developments are often passing through the public attention zone too quickly. Thus, we think it might be helpful to bring you a digest (by no means complete!) of our favorite highlights on a regular basis. (This effort, by the way, has different goals than the fine Hadoop Weekly newsletter, which has a more expansive view – and which you should subscribe to immediately, as far as we’re concerned.) Find the first installment below. Although the time period reflected ... Read More

Feed: Hadoop – Cloudera Engineering Blog. Author: Karina Babcock. This is the week of Apache HBase, with HBaseCon 2013 taking place Thursday, followed by WibiData’s KijiCon on Friday. In the many conversations I’ve had with Cloudera customers over the past 18 months, I’ve noticed a trend: Those that run HBase stand out. They tend to represent a group of very sophisticated Hadoop users that are accomplishing impressive things with Big Data. They deploy HBase because they require random, real-time read/write access to the data in Hadoop. Hadoop is a core component of their data management infrastructures, and these users rely on ...
