Can you see the forrest behind the trees?
Not a technical talk...
What's the real intrinsic value of BigTopWhat is our philosophical proposition
Why Hadoop data stack is important?
The elephant is yesterday's news...
An article over at Forbes:
“...it is not a database, it is not an analytics environment, and it is not a visualization tool. By itself, it is not a solution for helping businesses make better decisions.”
Some self-proclaimed hot-shot dude
Sorry, I am allergic to bullshit...
There are limits, all right...
● Maximum size of the file system● High availability● Recoverability
But there is a lot to pick from...
● Do you want to experiment with– CEPH
– Cassandra
– Ganglia
– Puppet
Why I am wasting your time?
● You are an ASP and need to ship a stack

Hey!
“I am gonna just pick up a distro from B or S”1)
1) “B” - Big Ego Distributor “S” - Small Ego Distributor
Yeah, right! (case study)
Commercial vendor “BS” packs Hive 0.7.1 into a release
We know how it is full of it
Good news!
“Our next release comes with Hive 0.8.1”BS' VP of Product
But may be they just forgot this?..
public int executeUpdate(String sql, String[] columnNames) throws SQLException {
throw new SQLException("Method not supported");
}
So, no worries! We can deliver!
But can they?
Do you REALLY have to be at mercy of a distribution vendors?
“I have no resource to do it myself”
DIY: and there's always “but”...
Maybe ASP or ISV business isn't for you?
Or maybeBigTop stack: take it and go...
Modify a stack BOM– Build
– Deploy
– Configure with Puppet (included)
– Test (scenarios are provided or easy to add)
– Grab a virtual appliance if short of hardware
Hit a problem?Just rinse and repeat (C)
Many thanks to the good folks from Hadoop community!
● Many components● Gazillions of versions● Lot of patches if you like it hot and dirty
Where is the philosophy?
WAIT!
Competition is great!● Competition enabling open platform● Diversity of stacks● No more vendors lock-ups● Don't be afraid to try● Be your own Sprechstallmeister
May be something wrong with this?
