Defending Hadoop’s HDFS - Hortonworks Version
In reply to the attack to HDFS, Eric Baldeschwieler emphasizes the pros of HDFS:
- Extreme low cost per byte
- Very high bandwidth to support MapReduce workloads
- Data reliability
but also the state of the HDFS competition:
- not designed for Hadoop scale
- not using commodity hardware or open source software
- not meant for MapReduce
- unproven technology
