I'll go on the record ansd Say Hadoop won't ever make it past the 1% , but rather we will take the lessons learned from Hadoop and create a better and more usefull system. You can see this already with Pig and Hive. People are learning from the shortcommings of hadoop and building on top of it to try and make it usefull. Once the right mix of frustration and technical skill gets together they will evolve the system to make it usefull. That is when you will see it get enterprise traction.
- monstrado 14y agoI work regularly with Hadoop users and I there is rarely talks of "shortcomings" of Hadoop. More often than not, rather than Hadoop not giving enough to the user, the user is not giving enough to Hadoop. Once users start understanding the power of the platform, they start to do some really incredible things. Hive and Pig are just applications that interface with Hadoop, although they could be classified as "SQL" or "PigLatin" to Java Map/Reduce, they are also more than that. For example, Hive has a shared metastore so you can treat Hadoop kind of like a shared RDBMS that allows you to map schemas after the data has already been transformed. Most the people I talk to, especially on here, are still pretty wet behind the ears when it comes to Hadoop. It's a very daunting technology, but I can assure you there is nothing but progress and innovation in the community.
- dkhenry 14y agoI agree that this is a new and daunting technology, but its also technically grounded at this point. I think the problems people have with it ( extensive knowledge needed to use it ) will be fixed iteravly, but will need a major change to the platform.
