How Many Hadoops?

The short answer is there is only one Apache Hadoop distribution.

The long answer is that there are many distributions that include Apache Hadoop or are claiming compatibility with Apache Hadoop.

The oldest and probably most popular: Cloudera’s Distribution of Hadoop (CDH)

The 100% open source: Hortonworks Data Platform.

The prioprietary: MapR.

The blue one: IBM InfoSphere BigInsights.

The latest: WANdisco Hadoop WDD, Intel Distribution of Hadoop and Pivotal HD from EMC Greenplum.

There’s also the version Facebook’s running on their cluster which includes Facebook Corona: a different approach to job scheduling and resource management.

But this list is not complete as it doesn’t include appliances featuring Hadoop. In this category we have:

  1. Oracle’s Big Data appliance featuring Cloudera’s Distribution of Hadoop
  2. Netapp’s Hadooplers
  3. EMC Greenplum DCA
  4. Teradata Aster Discovery Platform featuring Hortonworks’s Hadoop Data Platform
  5. Data Direct Networks (DDN)

I hope I didn’t miss any important ones1. As a conclusion for this list, my question is: who is actually benefiting from all these distributions?

  1. I left aside for now Hadoop-as-a-Service.  ↩
