Introduced Hortonworks Management Center (HMC).
HMC is the graphical user interface (GUI) based installer for managing and monitoring end-to-end Hadoop deployments.
For more details, see: Using HMC.
Upgraded multiple components.
Added support for Talend Open Studio.
HDP packages Talend Open Studio to provide a graphical interface for Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL).
Talend utilizes HDP's HCatalog metadata management capability to import raw data into Hadoop, create and manage schemas on the raw data, and facilitate transformational queries on that data.
