I doubt such companies would put their data "in the cloud".
And if they don't, the cost of supporting this "straightforward" Hadoop infrastructure, both in terms of hardware, engineering and support, is so massive that the little elbow grease for a simple I-know-what-it-does solution may well be worth it.
In other words, I share alexro's concerns. If you're buying into the M/R hype and process your blog logs in the cloud, that's one thing. But legitimate business use-cases are probably not as common as people may expect/hope.
- ajessup 15y agoHadoop is not a cloud solution - most organizations deploy it on their own infrastructure. Some folks (eg. Amazon AWS) offer a "hosted" version.
- Radim 15y agoSure, but that's not what this article is about ("5 min setup, for the masses").

That's not true. A small cluster and support from a company like Cloudera is much less than an new Oracle install.
