Possible Hadoop Trajectories
According to Michael Stonebraker and Jeremy Kepner the future of Hadoop is doomed:
| Computational space | Data Management |
|---|---|
| Adopt Hadoop for pilot projects | Adopt Hadoop for pilot projects |
| Scale Hadoop to production use | Scale Hadoop to production use |
| Hit the wall, as the above problems become big issues | Observer an unacceptable performance penalty |
| Morph to something that deals with our issues | Morph to real parallel DBMS |
Let me see if I get this right: you take 2 problem spaces, you generalize these to complete fields, try to use Hadoop, identify the mismatch but still go in production, ignore the solutions built on top of Hadoop/HDFS to address these problem spaces (Apache Hama or Twister) , then conclude by scientific generalization that these problems apply to everyone else, thus Hadoop is dead.
What’s wrong with all these companies using Hadoop for solving their problems? A bunch of stubborn people.
