LexisNexis Announces HPCC Systems, Open Source, ~4x Hadoop performance claimed
- timf 15y ago"Read how the HPCC Platform compares to Hadoop" http://hpccsystems.com/Why-HPCC/HPCC-vs-Hadoop http://hpccsystems.com/Why-HPCC/HPCC-vs-Hadoop "on the same hardware configuration showed that HPCC was 3.95 times faster than Hadoop for this benchmark." Though I am cautious, these things always take time to hash out what's really what (especially when the competitor is the one running the benchmark).
- priyankt 15y agoJust had a quick look and it seems that to use HPCC you will have to learn some new syntax (not sure though). Hadoop is based on java and most developers know it well. This could be a problem with widespread adoption of HPCC. Would like to know your view :)
- mindcrime 15y agoHuh... interesting. Looking forward to more details. Here's some more info: http://hpccsystems.com/ http://hpccsystems.com/ http://gigaom.com/cloud/lexisnexis-open-sources-its-hadoop-killer/ http://gigaom.com/cloud/lexisnexis-open-sources-its-hadoop-k... http://hpccsystems.com/about-us/press_center/lexisnexis-announces-hpcc-systems http://hpccsystems.com/about-us/press_center/lexisnexis-anno... Edit: Was curious about the license this would be released under... did some poking around, and found that it'll be the AGPL. http://hpccsystems.com/products-and-services/Licensing/ce-license http://hpccsystems.com/products-and-services/Licensing/ce-li... I have to admit, I'm not a fan of the AGPL, so I consider this a little disappointing. Kinda wish they had gone with the GPLv3 or ALv2, but still... any addition to the F/OSS world is nominally a Good Thing.
- brkcmd 15y agoInteresting that they are choosing to release the community edition under the Affero GPL3. (They also mention a "contributory agreement" which probably means a copyright assignment.) https://hpccsystems.com/faq/licensing https://hpccsystems.com/faq/licensing
