Hortonworks DataFlow (HDF) is powered by Apache NiFi. A version of this documentation originally appeared on the Apache NiFi website.

HDF is the first integrated platform that solves the real time challenges of collecting and transporting data from a multitude of sources and provides interactive command and control of live flows with full and automated data provenance. HDF is a single combined platform that provides the data acquisition, simple event processing, transport and delivery mechanism designed to accommodate the diverse dataflows generated by a world of connected people, systems and things.

Unlike other providers of platforms built using Apache Hadoop, Hortonworks contributes 100% of our code back to the Apache Software Foundation. Hortonworks DataFlow is Apache-licensed and completely open source. We sell only expert technical support, training and partner-enablement services. All of our technology is, and will remain free and open source.
