Hadoop is a large-scale distributed batch processing infrastructure. While it can be used on a single machine, its true power lies in its ability to scale to hundreds or thousands of computers, each with several processor cores. Hadoop is also designed to efficiently distribute large amounts of work across a set of machines.
And it proved that the Hadoop solves the Big Data problems like Volume, Variety, Velocity and Values but we left with top 12 Hadoop challenges.
Top 12 Hadoop challenges
1. Hadoop is a complex distributed system with low-level APIs
2. Specialized skills are required for using Hadoop, preventing most developers from effectively building solutions
3. Business logic and infrastructure APIs have no clear separation, burdening app developers
4. Automated testing of end-to-end solutions is impractical or impossible
5. Hadoop is a diverse collection of many open source projects
6. Understanding multiple technologies and hand-coding integration between them
7. Significant effort is wasted on simple tasks like data ingestions and ETL
8. Moving from proof-of-concept to production is difficult and can take months or quarters
9. Hadoop is more than just offline storage and batch analytics
10. Different processing paradigms require data to be stored in specific ways
11. Real-time and batch ingestion requires deeply integrating several components
12. Common data patterns often require but don’t support data consistency and correctness
And to address the above challenges we the enterprise need to go with few commercial Hadoop Software tools like cask, bedrock, mica, Pentaho, Talend,hTrunk , Informatica Big Data Management to benefits the real Hadoop’s power.
Cask – The Cask Data Application Platform (CDAP) is an open source, integrated platform for developers and organizations to build, deploy, and manage hadoop big data applications.
Bedrock – To realize value from an enterprise data lake and the powerful, but ever-changing ecosystem of Hadoop, you need enterprise-grade data management. Zaloni’s Bedrock is the industry’s only fully integrated Hadoop data management platform.
