Hadoop EcoSystems Table


Distributed Filesystem Description
Apache HDFS The Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) offers a way to store large files across multiple machines. Hadoop and HDFS was derived from Google File System (GFS) paper. Prior to Hadoop 2.0.0, the NameNode was a single point of failure (SPOF) in an HDFS cluster. With Zookeeper the HDFS High Availability feature addresses this problem by providing the option of running two redundant NameNodes in the same cluster in an Active/Passive configuration with a hot standby.
Red Hat GlusterFS GlusterFS is a scale-out network-attached storage file system. GlusterFS was developed originally by Gluster, Inc., then by Red Hat, Inc., after their purchase of Gluster in 2011. In June 2012, Red Hat Storage Server was announced as a commercially-supported integration of GlusterFS with Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Gluster File System, known now as Red Hat Storage Server.
Quantcast File System QFS (QFS) is an open-source distributed file system software package for large-scale MapReduce or other batch-processing workloads. It was designed as an alternative to Apache Hadoop’s HDFS, intended to deliver better performance and cost-efficiency for large-scale processing clusters. It is written in C++ and has fixed-footprint memory management. QFS uses Reed-Solomon error correction as method for assuring reliable access to data.  Reed–Solomon coding is very widely used in mass storage systems to correct the burst errors associated with media defects. Rather than storing three full versions of each file like HDFS, resulting in the need for three times more storage, QFS only needs 1.5x the raw capacity because it stripes data across nine different disk drives.
Ceph Filesystem Ceph is a free software storage platform designed to present object, block, and file storage from a single distributed computer cluster. Ceph's main goals are to be completely distributed without a single point of failure, scalable to the exabyte level, and freely-available. The data is replicated, making it fault tolerant. The problem right now is Ceph currently requires Hadoop 1.1.X stable series.
Lustre file system The Lustre filesystem is a high-performance distributed filesystem intended for larger network and high-availability environments. Traditionally, Lustre is configured to manage remote data storage disk devices within a Storage Area Network (SAN), which is two or more remotely attached disk devices communicating via a Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) protocol. This includes Fibre Channel, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) and even iSCSI.  With Hadoop HDFS the software needs a dedicated cluster of computers on which to run. But folks who run high performance computing clusters for other purposes often don't run HDFS, which leaves them with a bunch of computing power, tasks that could almost certainly benefit from a bit of map reduce and no way to put that power to work running Hadoop. Intel's noticed this and, in version 2.5 of its Hadoop distribution that it quietly released last week, has added support for Lustre: the Intel® HPC Distribution for Apache Hadoop* Software, a new product that combines Intel Distribution for Apache Hadoop software with Intel® Enterprise Edition for Lustre software. This is the only distribution of Apache Hadoop that is integrated with Lustre, the parallel file system used by many of the world's fastest supercomputers
Tachyon Tachyon is an memory distributed file system. By storing the file-system contents in the main memory of all cluster nodes, the system achieves higher throughput than traditional disk-based storage systems like HDFS.
GridGain GridGain is open source project licensed under Apache 2.0. One of the main pieces of this platform is the In-Memory Apache Hadoop Accelerator which aims to accelerate HDFS and Map/Reduce by bringing both, data and computations into memory. This work is done with the GGFS - Hadoop compliant in-memory file system. For I/O intensive jobs GridGain GGFS offers performance close to 100x faster than standard HDFS. Paraphrasing Dmitriy Setrakyan from GridGain Systems talking about GGFS regarding Tachyon: - GGFS allows read-through and write-through to/from underlying HDFS or any other Hadoop compliant file system with zero code change. Essentially GGFS entirely removes ETL step from integration. - GGFS has ability to pick and choose what folders stay in memory, what folders stay on disc, and what folders get synchronized with underlying (HD)FS either synchronously or asynchronously. - GridGain is working on adding native MapReduce component which will provide native complete Hadoop integration without changes in API, like Spark currently forces you to do. Essentially GridGain MR+GGFS will allow to bring Hadoop completely or partially in-memory in Plug-n-Play fashion without any API changes.
Distributed Programming Description
Apache MapReduce MapReduce is a programming model for processing large data sets with a parallel, distributed algorithm on a cluster. Apache MapReduce was derived from Google MapReduce: Simplified Data Processing on Large Clusters paper. The current Apache MapReduce version is built over Apache YARN Framework. YARN stands for “Yet-Another-Resource-Negotiator”. It is a new framework that facilitates writing arbitrary distributed processing frameworks and applications. YARN’s execution model is more generic than the earlier MapReduce implementation. YARN can run applications that do not follow the MapReduce model, unlike the original Apache Hadoop MapReduce (also called MR1). Hadoop YARN is an attempt to take Apache Hadoop beyond MapReduce for data-processing.
Apache Pig Pig provides an engine for executing data flows in parallel on Hadoop. It includes a language, Pig Latin, for expressing these data flows. Pig Latin includes operators for many of the traditional data operations (join, sort, filter, etc.), as well as the ability for users to develop their own functions for reading, processing, and writing data. Pig runs on Hadoop. It makes use of both the Hadoop Distributed File System, HDFS, and Hadoop’s processing system, MapReduce.  Pig uses MapReduce to execute all of its data processing. It compiles the Pig Latin scripts that users write into a series of one or more MapReduce jobs that it then executes. Pig Latin looks different from many of the programming languages you have seen. There are no if statements or for loops in Pig Latin. This is because traditional procedural and object-oriented programming languages describe control flow, and data flow is a side effect of the program. Pig Latin instead focuses on data flow.
JAQL JAQL is a functional, declarative programming language designed especially for working with large volumes of structured, semi-structured and unstructured data. As its name implies, a primary use of JAQL is to handle data stored as JSON documents, but JAQL can work on various types of data. For example, it can support XML, comma-separated values (CSV) data and flat files. A "SQL within JAQL" capability lets programmers work with structured SQL data while employing a JSON data model that's less restrictive than its Structured Query Language counterparts. Specifically, Jaql allows you to select, join, group, and filter data that is stored in HDFS, much like a blend of Pig and Hive. Jaql’s query language was inspired by many programming and query languages, including Lisp, SQL, XQuery, and Pig.  JAQL was created by workers at IBM Research Labs in 2008 and released to open source. While it continues to be hosted as a project on Google Code, where a downloadable version is available under an Apache 2.0 license, the major development activity around JAQL has remained centered at IBM. The company offers the query language as part of the tools suite associated with InfoSphere BigInsights, its Hadoop platform. Working together with a workflow orchestrator, JAQL is used in BigInsights to exchange data between storage, processing and analytics jobs. It also provides links to external data and services, including relational databases and machine learning data.
Apache Spark Data analytics cluster computing framework originally developed in the AMPLab at UC Berkeley. Spark fits into the Hadoop open-source community, building on top of the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS). However, Spark provides an easier to use alternative to Hadoop MapReduce and offers performance up to 10 times faster than previous generation systems like Hadoop MapReduce for certain applications. Spark is a framework for writing fast, distributed programs. Spark solves similar problems as Hadoop MapReduce does but with a fast in-memory approach and a clean functional style API. With its ability to integrate with Hadoop and inbuilt tools for interactive query analysis (Shark), large-scale graph processing and analysis (Bagel), and real-time analysis (Spark Streaming), it can be interactively used to quickly process and query big data sets. To make programming faster, Spark provides clean, concise APIs in Scala, Java and Python. You can also use Spark interactively from the Scala and Python shells to rapidly query big datasets. Spark is also the engine behind Shark, a fully Apache Hive-compatible data warehousing system that can run 100x faster than Hive.
Stratosphere Stratosphere is a general purpose cluster computing framework. It is compatible to the Hadoop ecosystem: Stratosphere can access data stored in HDFS and runs with Hadoop's new cluster manager YARN. The common input formats of Hadoop are supported as well. Stratosphere does not use Hadoop's MapReduce implementation: it is a completely new system that brings its own runtime. The new runtime allows to define more advanced operations that include more transformations than just map and reduce. Additionally, Stratosphere allows to express analysis jobs using advanced data flow graphs, which are able to resemble common data analysis task more naturally. Users can program their analysis programs using a Scala and a Java programming interfaces. Graph processing can be done using its Giraph-inspired graph processing abstraction. Stratosphere is available under the Apache 2.0 License and is being developed actively by an open-source community.  Some of the more advanced features are its optimizer that chooses the optimal execution strategy behind the scenes. Tasks that need to go over the data multiple times can use a feature called "Iterations". It allows to express machine learning or graph processing algorithms more naturally within the system and achieve higher performance.
Netflix PigPen PigPen is map-reduce for Clojure whiche compiles to Apache Pig. Clojure is dialect of the Lisp programming language created by Rich Hickey, so is a functional general-purpose language, and runs on the Java Virtual Machine, Common Language Runtime, and JavaScript engines. In PigPen there are no special user defined functions (UDFs). Define Clojure functions, anonymously or named, and use them like you would in any Clojure program. This tool is open sourced by Netflix, Inc. the American provider of on-demand Internet streaming media.
AMPLab SIMR Apache Spark was developed thinking in Apache YARN. However, up to now, it has been relatively hard to run Apache Spark on Hadoop MapReduce v1 clusters, i.e. clusters that do not have YARN installed. Typically, users would have to get permission to install Spark/Scala on some subset of the machines, a process that could be time consuming. SIMR allows anyone with access to a Hadoop MapReduce v1 cluster to run Spark out of the box. A user can run Spark directly on top of Hadoop MapReduce v1 without any administrative rights, and without having Spark or Scala installed on any of the nodes.
Facebook Corona “The next version of Map-Reduce" from Facebook, based in own fork of Hadoop. The current Hadoop implementation of the MapReduce technique uses a single job tracker, which causes scaling issues for very large data sets. The Apache Hadoop developers have been creating their own next-generation MapReduce, called YARN, which Facebook engineers looked at but discounted because of the highly-customised nature of the company's deployment of Hadoop and HDFS. Corona, like YARN, spawns multiple job trackers (one for each job, in Corona's case).
Apache Twill Twill is an abstraction over Apache Hadoop® YARN that reduces the complexity of developing distributed applications, allowing developers to focus more on their business logic. Twill uses a simple thread-based model that Java programmers will find familiar. YARN can be viewed as a compute fabric of a cluster, which means YARN applications like Twill will run on any Hadoop 2 cluster. YARN is an open source application that allows the Hadoop cluster to turn into a collection of virtual machines. Weave, developed by Continuuity and initially housed on Github, is a complementary open source application that uses a programming model similar to Java threads, making it easy to write distributed applications. In order to remove a conflict with a similarly named project on Apache, called "Weaver," Weave's name changed to Twill when it moved to Apache incubation. Twill functions as a scaled-out proxy. Twill is a middleware layer in between YARN and any application on YARN. When you develop a Twill app, Twill handles APIs in YARN that resemble a multi-threaded application familiar to Java. It is very easy to build multi-processed distributed applications in Twill.
Damballa Parkour Library for develop MapReduce programs using the LISP like language Clojure. Parkour aims to provide deep Clojure integration for Hadoop. Programs using Parkour are normal Clojure programs, using standard Clojure functions instead of new framework abstractions. Programs using Parkour are also full Hadoop programs, with complete access to absolutely everything possible in raw Java Hadoop MapReduce.
Apache Hama Apache Top-Level open source project, allowing you to do advanced analytics beyond MapReduce. Many data analysis techniques such as machine learning and graph algorithms require iterative computations, this is where Bulk Synchronous Parallel model can be more effective than "plain" MapReduce.
Datasalt Pangool A new MapReduce paradigm. A new API for MR jobs, in higher level than Java.
Apache Tez Tez is a proposal to develop a generic application which can be used to process complex data-processing task DAGs and runs natively on Apache Hadoop YARN. Tez generalizes the MapReduce paradigm to a more powerful framework based on expressing computations as a dataflow graph. Tez is not meant directly for end-users – in fact it enables developers to build end-user applications with much better performance and flexibility. Hadoop has traditionally been a batch-processing platform for large amounts of data. However, there are a lot of use cases for near-real-time performance of query processing. There are also several workloads, such as Machine Learning, which do not fit will into the MapReduce paradigm. Tez helps Hadoop address these use cases. Tez framework constitutes part of Stinger initiative (a low latency based SQL type query interface for Hadoop based on Hive).
Apache DataFu DataFu provides a collection of Hadoop MapReduce jobs and functions in higher level languages based on it to perform data analysis. It provides functions for common statistics tasks (e.g. quantiles, sampling), PageRank, stream sessionization, and set and bag operations. DataFu also provides Hadoop jobs for incremental data processing in MapReduce. DataFu is a collection of Pig UDFs (including PageRank, sessionization, set operations, sampling, and much more) that were originally developed at LinkedIn.
Pydoop Pydoop is a Python MapReduce and HDFS API for Hadoop, built upon the C++ Pipes and the C libhdfs APIs, that allows to write full-fledged MapReduce applications with HDFS access. Pydoop has several advantages over Hadoop’s built-in solutions for Python programming, i.e., Hadoop Streaming and Jython: being a CPython package, it allows you to access all standard library and third party modules, some of which may not be available.

It’s the backing system for MR jobs outputs. It’s the Hadoop database. It’s for backing Hadoop MapReduce jobs with Apache HBase tables
Apache Cassandra Distributed Non-SQL DBMS, it’s a BDDB. MR can retrieve data from Cassandra. This BDDB can run without HDFS, or on-top of HDFS (DataStax fork of Cassandra). HBase and its required supporting systems are derived from what is known of the original Google BigTable and Google File System designs (as known from the Google File System paper Google published in 2003, and the BigTable paper published in 2006). Cassandra on the other hand is a recent open source fork of a standalone database system initially coded by Facebook, which while implementing the BigTable data model, uses a system inspired by Amazon’s Dynamo for storing data (in fact much of the initial development work on Cassandra was performed by two Dynamo engineers recruited to Facebook from Amazon).
Hypertable Database system inspired by publications on the design of Google's BigTable. The project is based on experience of engineers who were solving large-scale data-intensive tasks for many years. Hypertable runs on top of a distributed file system such as the Apache Hadoop DFS, GlusterFS, or the Kosmos File System (KFS). It is written almost entirely in C++. Sposored by Baidu the Chinese search engine.

Shark is built on top of Spark
Apache Drill Drill is the open source version of Google's Dremel system which is available as an infrastructure service called Google BigQuery. In recent years open source systems have emerged to address the need for scalable batch processing (Apache Hadoop) and stream processing (Storm, Apache S4). Apache Hadoop, originally inspired by Google's internal MapReduce system, is used by thousands of organizations processing large-scale datasets. Apache Hadoop is designed to achieve very high throughput, but is not designed to achieve the sub-second latency needed for interactive data analysis and exploration. Drill, inspired by Google's internal Dremel system, is intended to address this need
Cloudera Impala The Apache-licensed Impala project brings scalable parallel database technology to Hadoop, enabling users to issue low-latency SQL queries to data stored in HDFS and Apache HBase without requiring data movement or transformation. It's a Google Dremel clone (Big Query google).
Facebook Presto Facebook has open sourced Presto, a SQL engine it says is on average 10 times faster than Hive for running queries across large data sets stored in Hadoop and elsewhere.
Datasalt Splout SQL Splout allows serving an arbitrarily big dataset with high QPS rates and at the same time provides full SQL query syntax.
Apache Tajo Apache Tajo is a robust big data relational and distributed data warehouse system for Apache Hadoop. Tajo is designed for low-latency and scalable ad-hoc queries, online aggregation, and ETL (extract-transform-load process) on large-data sets stored on HDFS (Hadoop Distributed File System) and other data sources. By supporting SQL standards and leveraging advanced database techniques, Tajo allows direct control of distributed execution and data flow across a variety of query evaluation strategies and optimization opportunities. For reference, the Apache Software Foundation announced Tajo as a Top-Level Project in April 2014.
Apache Phoenix Apache Phoenix is a SQL skin over HBase delivered as a client-embedded JDBC driver targeting low latency queries over HBase data. Apache Phoenix takes your SQL query, compiles it into a series of HBase scans, and orchestrates the running of those scans to produce regular JDBC result sets. The table metadata is stored in an HBase table and versioned, such that snapshot queries over prior versions will automatically use the correct schema. Direct use of the HBase API, along with coprocessors and custom filters, results in performance on the order of milliseconds for small queries, or seconds for tens of millions of rows.
Data Ingestion Description
Apache Flume Un-structured data agregator to HDFS.
Apache Sqoop System for bulk data transfer between HDFS and structured datastores as RDBMS. Like Flume but from HDFS to RDBMS.
Facebook Scribe Log agregator in real-time. It’s a Apache Thrift Service.
Apache Chukwa Large scale log aggregator, and analytics.
Apache Storm Storm is a complex event processor and distributed computation framework written predominantly in the Clojure programming language. Is a distributed real-time computation system for processing fast, large streams of data. Storm is an architecture based on master-workers paradigma. So a Storm cluster mainly consists of a master and worker nodes, with coordination done by Zookeeper. Storm makes use of zeromq (0mq, zeromq), an advanced, embeddable networking library. It provides a message queue, but unlike message-oriented middleware (MOM), a 0MQ system can run without a dedicated message broker. The library is designed to have a familiar socket-style API. Originally created by Nathan Marz and team at BackType, the project was open sourced after being acquired by Twitter. Storm was initially developed and deployed at BackType in 2011. After 7 months of development BackType was acquired by Twitter in July 2011. Storm was open sourced in September 2011.  Hortonworks is developing a Storm-on-YARN version and plans finish the base-level integration in 2013 Q4. This is the plan from Hortonworks. Yahoo/Hortonworks also plans to move Storm-on-YARN code from github.com/yahoo/storm-yarn to be a subproject of Apache Storm project in the near future. Twitter has recently released a Hadoop-Storm Hybrid called “Summingbird.” Summingbird fuses the two frameworks into one, allowing for developers to use Storm for short-term processing and Hadoop for deep data dives,. a system that aims to mitigate the tradeoffs between batch processing and stream processing by combining them into a hybrid system.
Apache Kafka Distributed publish-subscribe system for processing large amounts of streaming data. Kafka is a Message Queue developed by LinkedIn that persists messages to disk in a very performant manner. Because messages are persisted, it has the interesting ability for clients to rewind a stream and consume the messages again. Another upside of the disk persistence is that bulk importing the data into HDFS for offline analysis can be done very quickly and efficiently. Storm, developed by BackType (which was acquired by Twitter a year ago), is more about transforming a stream of messages into new streams.
Netflix Suro Suro has its roots in Apache Chukwa, which was initially adopted by Netflix. Is a log agregattor like Storm, Samza.
Apache Samza Apache Samza is a distributed stream processing framework. It uses Apache Kafka for messaging, and Apache Hadoop YARN to provide fault tolerance, processor isolation, security, and resource management. Developed by http://www.linkedin.com/in/jaykreps Linkedin.
Cloudera Morphline Cloudera Morphlines is a new open source framework that reduces the time and skills necessary to integrate, build, and change Hadoop processing applications that extract, transform, and load data into Apache Solr, Apache HBase, HDFS, enterprise data warehouses, or analytic online dashboards.
HIHO This project is a framework for connecting disparate data sources with the Apache Hadoop system, making them interoperable. HIHO connects Hadoop with multiple RDBMS and file systems, so that data can be loaded to Hadoop and unloaded from Hadoop
Service Programming Description
Apache Thrift A cross-language RPC framework for service creations. It’s the service base for Facebook technologies (the original Thrift contributor). Thrift provides a framework for developing and accessing remote services. It allows developers to create services that can be consumed by any application that is written in a language that there are Thrift bindings for. Thrift manages serialization of data to and from a service, as well as the protocol that describes a method invocation, response, etc. Instead of writing all the RPC code -- you can just get straight to your service logic. Thrift uses TCP and so a given service is bound to a particular port.
Apache Zookeeper It’s a coordination service that gives you the tools you need to write correct distributed applications. ZooKeeper was developed at Yahoo! Research. Several Hadoop projects are already using ZooKeeper to coordinate the cluster and provide highly-available distributed services. Perhaps most famous of those are Apache HBase, Storm, Kafka. ZooKeeper is an application library with two principal implementations of the APIs—Java and C—and a service component implemented in Java that runs on an ensemble of dedicated servers. Zookeeper is for building distributed systems, simplifies the development process, making it more agile and enabling more robust implementations. Back in 2006, Google published a paper on "Chubby", a distributed lock service which gained wide adoption within their data centers. Zookeeper, not surprisingly, is a close clone of Chubby designed to fulfill many of the same roles for HDFS and other Hadoop infrastructure.
Apache Avro Apache Avro is a framework for modeling, serializing and making Remote Procedure Calls (RPC). Avro data is described by a schema, and one interesting feature is that the schema is stored in the same file as the data it describes, so files are self-describing. Avro does not require code generation. This framework can compete with other similar tools like: Apache Thrift, Google Protocol Buffers, ZeroC ICE, and so on.
Apache Curator Curator is a set of Java libraries that make using Apache ZooKeeper much easier.
Apache karaf Apache Karaf is an OSGi runtime that runs on top of any OSGi framework and provides you a set of services, a powerful provisioning concept, an extensible shell & more.

This open source library is massively used in Twitter.
Linkedin Norbert Norbert is a library that provides easy cluster management and workload distribution. With Norbert, you can quickly distribute a simple client/server architecture to create a highly scalable architecture capable of handling heavy traffic. Implemented in Scala, Norbert wraps ZooKeeper, Netty and uses Protocol Buffers for transport to make it easy to build a cluster aware application. A Java API is provided and pluggable load balancing strategies are supported with round robin and consistent hash strategies provided out of the box.
Scheduling Description
Apache Oozie Workflow scheduler system for MR jobs using DAGs (Direct Acyclical Graphs). Oozie Coordinator can trigger jobs by time (frequency) and data availabilit
Linkedin Azkaban Hadoop workflow management. A batch job scheduler can be seen as a combination of the cron and make Unix utilities combined with a friendly UI.
Apache Falcon Apache™ Falcon is a data management framework for simplifying data lifecycle management and processing pipelines on Apache Hadoop®. It enables users to configure, manage and orchestrate data motion, pipeline processing, disaster recovery, and data retention workflows. Instead of hard-coding complex data lifecycle capabilities, Hadoop applications can now rely on the well-tested Apache Falcon framework for these functions. Falcon’s simplification of data management is quite useful to anyone building apps on Hadoop. Data Management on Hadoop encompasses data motion, process orchestration, lifecycle management, data discovery, etc. among other concerns that are beyond ETL. Falcon is a new data processing and management platform for Hadoop that solves this problem and creates additional opportunities by building on existing components within the Hadoop ecosystem (ex. Apache Oozie, Apache Hadoop DistCp etc.) without reinventing the wheel.
Machine Learning Description

The MADlib project is self-described as the Big Data Machine Learning in SQL for Data Scientists. The MADlib software project began the following year as a collaboration between researchers at UC Berkeley and engineers and data scientists at EMC/Greenplum (now Pivotal)
Bechmarking Description
Apache Hadoop Benchmarking There are two main JAR files in Apache Hadoop for benchmarking. This JAR are micro-benchmarks for testing particular parts of the infrastructure, for instance TestDFSIO analyzes the disk system, TeraSort evaluates MapReduce tasks, WordCount measures cluster performance, etc. Micro-Benchmarks are packaged in the tests and exmaples JAR files, and you can get a list of them, with descriptions, by invoking the JAR file with no arguments. With regards Apache Hadoop 2.2.0 stable version we have available the following JAR files for test, examples and benchmarking. The Hadoop micro-benchmarks, are bundled in this JAR files: hadoop-mapreduce-examples-2.2.0.jar, hadoop-mapreduce-client-jobclient-2.2.0-tests.jar.
Yahoo Gridmix3 Hadoop cluster benchmarking from Yahoo engineer team.
PUMA Benchmarking Benchmark suite which represents a broad range of MapReduce applications exhibiting application characteristics with high/low computation and high/low shuffle volumes. There are a total of 13 benchmarks, out of which Tera-Sort, Word-Count, and Grep are from Hadoop distribution. The rest of the benchmarks were developed in-house and are currently not part of the Hadoop distribution. The three benchmarks from Hadoop distribution are also slightly modified to take number of reduce tasks as input from the user and generate final time completion statistics of jobs.
Berkeley SWIM Benchmark The SWIM benchmark (Statistical Workload Injector for MapReduce), is a benchmark representing a real-world big data workload developed by University of California at Berkley in close cooperation with Facebook. This test provides rigorous measurements of the performance of MapReduce systems comprised of real industry workloads..

Security Description
Apache Sentry Sentry is the next step in enterprise-grade big data security and delivers fine-grained authorization to data stored in Apache Hadoop™. An independent security module that integrates with open source SQL query engines Apache Hive and Cloudera Impala, Sentry delivers advanced authorization controls to enable multi-user applications and cross-functional processes for enterprise data sets. Sentry was a Cloudera development.
Apache Knox Gateway System that provides a single point of secure access for Apache Hadoop clusters. The goal is to simplify Hadoop security for both users (i.e. who access the cluster data and execute jobs) and operators (i.e. who control access and manage the cluster). The Gateway runs as a server (or cluster of servers) that serve one or more Hadoop clusters.
System Deployment Description
Apache Ambari Intuitive, easy-to-use Hadoop management web UI backed by its RESTful APIs. Apache Ambari was donated by Hortonworks team to the ASF. It's a powerful and nice interface for Hadoop and other typical applications from the Hadoop ecosystem. Apache Ambari is under a heavy development, and it will incorporate new features in a near future. For example Ambari is able to deploy a complete Hadoop system from scratch, however is not possible use this GUI in a Hadoop system that is already running. The ability to provisioning the operating system could be a good addition, however probably is not in the roadmap..
Cloudera HUE Web application for interacting with Apache Hadoop. It's not a deploment tool, is an open-source Web interface that supports Apache Hadoop and its ecosystem, licensed under the Apache v2 license. HUE is used for Hadoop and its ecosystem user operations.
Apache Whirr Apache Whirr is a set of libraries for running cloud services. It allows you to use simple commands to boot clusters of distributed systems for testing and experimentation. Apache Whirr makes booting clusters easy.
Apache Mesos Mesos is a cluster manager that provides resource sharing and isolation across cluster applications. Like HTCondor, SGE or Troque can do it. However Mesos is hadoop centred design
Marathon Marathon is a Mesos framework for long-running services. Given that you have Mesos running as the kernel for your datacenter, Marathon is the init or upstart daemon.
Brooklyn Brooklyn is a library that simplifies application deployment and management. For deployment, it is designed to tie in with other tools, giving single-click deploy and adding the concepts of manageable clusters and fabrics: Many common software entities available out-of-the-box. Integrates with Apache Whirr -- and thereby Chef and Puppet -- to deploy well-known services such as Hadoop and elasticsearch (or use POBS, plain-old-bash-scripts) Use PaaS's such as OpenShift, alongside self-built clusters, for maximum flexibility
Hortonworks HOYA HOYA is defined as “running HBase On YARN”. The Hoya tool is a Java tool, and is currently CLI driven. It takes in a cluster specification – in terms of the number of regionservers, the location of HBASE_HOME, the ZooKeeper quorum hosts, the configuration that the new HBase cluster instance should use and so on. So HOYA is for HBase deployment using a tool developed on top of YARN. Once the cluster has been started, the cluster can be made to grow or shrink using the Hoya commands. The cluster can also be stopped and later resumed. Hoya implements the functionality through YARN APIs and HBase’s shell scripts. The goal of the prototype was to have minimal code changes and as of this writing, it has required zero code changes in Hbase.
Apache Helix Apache Helix is a generic cluster management framework used for the automatic management of partitioned, replicated and distributed resources hosted on a cluster of nodes. Originally developed by Linkedin, now is in an incubator project at Apache. Helix is developed on top of Zookeeper for coordination tasks. .
Apache Bigtop Bigtop was originally developed and released as an open source packaging infrastructure by Cloudera. BigTop is used for some vendors to build their own distributions based on Apache Hadoop (CDH, Pivotal HD, Intel's distribution), however Apache Bigtop does many more tasks, like continuous integration testing (with Jenkins, maven, ...) and is useful for packaging (RPM and DEB), deployment with Puppet, and so on. Apache Bigtop could be considered as a community effort with a main focus: put all bits of the Hadoop ecosystem as a whole, rather than individual projects.
Buildoop Buildoop is an open source project licensed under Apache License 2.0, based on Apache BigTop idea. Buildoop is a collaboration project that provides templates and tools to help you create custom Linux-based systems based on Hadoop ecosystem. The project is built from scrach using Groovy language, and is not based on a mixture of tools like BigTop does (Makefile, Gradle, Groovy, Maven), probably is easier to programming than BigTop, and the desing is focused in the basic ideas behind the buildroot Yocto Project. The project is in early stages of development right now.
Deploop Deploop is a tool for provisioning, managing and monitoring Apache Hadoop clusters focused in the Lambda Architecture. LA is a generic design based on the concepts of Twitter engineer Nathan Marz. This generic architecture was designed addressing common requirements for big data. The Deploop system is in ongoing development, in alpha phases of maturity. The system is setup on top of highly scalable techologies like Puppet and MCollective.
Applications Description
Apache Nutch Highly extensible and scalable open source web crawler software project. A search engine based on Lucene: A Web crawler is an Internet bot that systematically browses the World Wide Web, typically for the purpose of Web indexing. Web crawlers can copy all the pages they visit for later processing by a search engine that indexes the downloaded pages so that users can search them much more quickly.
Sphnix Search Server Sphinx lets you either batch index and search data stored in an SQL database, NoSQL storage, or just files quickly and easily — or index and search data on the fly, working with Sphinx pretty much as with a database server.
Apache OODT OODT was originally developed at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory to support capturing, processing and sharing of data for NASA's scientific archives
HIPI Library HIPI is a library for Hadoop's MapReduce framework that provides an API for performing image processing tasks in a distributed computing environment.
PivotalR PivotalR is a package that enables users of R, the most popular open source statistical programming language and environment to interact with the Pivotal (Greenplum) Database as well as Pivotal HD / HAWQ and the open-source database PostgreSQL for Big Data analytics. R is a programming language and data analysis software: you do data analysis in R by writing scripts and functions in the R programming language. R is a complete, interactive, object-oriented language: designed by statisticians, for statisticians. The language provides objects, operators and functions that make the process of exploring, modeling, and visualizing data a natural one.
Development Frameworks Description
Spring XD Spring XD (Xtreme Data) is a evolution of Spring Java application development framework to help Big Data Applications by Pivotal. SpringSource was the company created by the founders of the Spring Framework. SpringSource was purchased by VMware where it was maintained for some time as a separate division within VMware. Later VMware, and its parent company EMC Corporation, formally created a joint venture called Pivotal. Spring XD is more than development framework library, is a distributed, and extensible system for data ingestion, real time analytics, batch processing, and data export. It could be considered as alternative to Apache Flume/Sqoop/Oozie in some scenarios. Spring XD is part of Pivotal Spring for Apache Hadoop (SHDP). SHDP, integrated with Spring, Spring Batch and Spring Data are part of the Spring IO Platform as foundational libraries. Building on top of, and extending this foundation, the Spring IO platform provides Spring XD as big data runtime. Spring for Apache Hadoop (SHDP) aims to help simplify the development of Hadoop based applications by providing a consistent configuration and API across a wide range of Hadoop ecosystem projects such as Pig, Hive, and Cascading in addition to providing extensions to Spring Batch for orchestrating Hadoop based workflows.
