Hortonworks and Yahoo!

• Yahoo! is a development partner−Leverage large Yahoo! development, testing & operations team

More than 1,000 active & sophisticated users of Apache Hadoop Access to the Yahoo! grid for testing large workloads Only organization that has delivered a stable release of Apache Hadoop

−Yahoo will continue to contribute Apache Hadoop code too!

• Yahoo! is a customer−Hortonworks provides level 3 support and training to Yahoo!−Yahoo deploys Apache Hadoop releases across its 42,000 grid

• Yahoo! is an investor

Current State of Adoption

Vendor Ecosystem Adoption

Enterprise Adoption

• Early adopters• Technology is hard to install,

manage & use• Technology lacks enterprise

robustness• Requires significant

investment in technical staff or consulting

• Hard to find & hire experienced developer & operations talent

• Early in vendor adoption lifecycle

• Hadoop is hard to integrate and extend

• Hard to find & hire experienced developer & operations talent

Technology & Knowledge Gaps Prevent Apache

Hadoop from Reaching Full Potential

Customers are asking their vendors for help with

Hadoop!

Hortonworks Role & Opportunity

Vendor Ecosystem Adoption

Enterprise Adoption

Bridge the Gap!Grow Market

Sell training and support via

Partners

Fundamental shift in enterprise data architecture strategy• Apache Hadoop becomes standard for managing new types & scale of data• New applications & solutions will be created to leverage data in Apache Hadoop• Creates massive big data technology and services opportunity for ecosystem

Hortonworks Objectives

• Make Apache Hadoop projects easier to install, manage & use−Regular sustaining releases−Compiled code for each project (e.g. RPMs)−Testing at scale

• Make Apache Hadoop more robust−Performance gains−High availability−Administration & monitoring

• Make Apache Hadoop easier to integrate & extend−Open APIs for extension & experimentation

All done within Apache Hadoop community

• Develop collaboratively with community

• Complete transparency• All code contributed

back to Apache

Anyone should be able to easily deploy the Hadoop projects directly from Apache

Technology Roadmap

Phase 1 – Making Apache Hadoop Accessible• Release the most stable version of Hadoop ever• Release directly usable code via Apache (RPMs, .debs…)• Frequent sustaining releases off of the stable branches

2011

Phase 2 – Next Generation Apache Hadoop• Address key product gaps (Hbase support, HA, Management…)• Enable community & partner innovation via modular architecture &

open APIs• Work with community to define integrated stack

2012(Alphas starting Oct 2011)

Phase 2 - Next Generation Apache Hadoop

• Core−HDFS Federation−Next Gen MapReduce−New Write Pipeline (HBase support)−HA (no SPOF) and Wire compatibility

• Data - HCatalog 0.3−Pig, Hive, MapReduce and Streaming as clients−HDFS and HBase as storage systems−Performance and storage improvements

• Management & Ease of use−All components fully tested and deployable as a stack−Stack installation and centralized config management−REST and GUI for user tasks

Phase 2 – Core - MapReduce

• Complete rewrite of the resource management layer

• Performance and Scale improvements

• 6,000+ nodes / 100,000 concurrent tasks

• Supports better availability and fail-over

• Supports new frameworks beyond MapReduce© Hortonworks Inc. 2011 10

Phase 2 – Core – HDFS Federation

• Multiple independent Namenodes and Namespace Volumes in a cluster

− Scalability (6K nodes, 100K clients, 120PB disk), Workload isolation support− Client side mount tables for Global Namespace

• Block storage as a generic shared storage service

− DataNodes store blocks for all Namespace volumes – no partitioning− Non-HDFS namespaces (HBase, MR tmp and others) can share the same storage

• Limitations of HDFS write pipeline in 0.20−Broken Flush, Sync, Append−Node failures can cause data loss for slow writers

• Hadoop.Next−Flush, Sync, and Append support−New replicas are added dynamically on failures

= Phase 1

= Phase 2

• Shared schema and data model• Data can be shared between tool users• Data located by table rather than file• Clients independent of storage details

• format, compression, …• Only one adaptor for new formats

• not one per tool• Notifications when new data is

available
