Abstract
The Hortonworks Data Platform, powered by Apache Hadoop, is a massively scalable
and 100% open source platform for storing, processing and analyzing large volumes of
data. It is designed to deal with data from many sources and formats in a very
quick, easy and cost-effective manner.
The Hortonworks Data Platform consists of the essential set of Apache Software
Foundation projects that focus on the storage and processing of Big Data, along with
operations, security, and governance for the resulting system. This includes Apache
Hadoop -- which includes MapReduce, Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS), and Yet
Another Resource Negotiator (YARN) -- along with Ambari, Falcon, Flume, HBase, Hive,
Kafka, Knox, Oozie, Phoenix, Pig, Ranger, Slider, Spark, Sqoop, Storm, Tez, and
ZooKeeper. Hortonworks is the major contributor of code and patches to many of these
projects. These projects have been integrated and tested as part of the Hortonworks
Data Platform release process and installation and configuration tools have also
been included.
Unlike other providers of platforms built using Apache Hadoop, Hortonworks
contributes 100% of our code back to the Apache Software Foundation. The Hortonworks
Data Platform 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.
