Hortonworks has announced the 1.0 release of the Hortonworks Data Platform prior to the Hadoop Summit 2012 together with a lot of supporting quotes from companies like Attunity, Dataguise, Datameer, Karmasphere, Kognitio, MarkLogic, Microsoft, NetApp, StackIQ, Syncsort, Talend, 10gen, Teradata, and VMware.

Some info points:

  1. Hortonworks Data Platform is a platform meant to simplify the installation, integration, management, and use of Apache Hadoop

    1. HDP 1.0 is based on Apache Hadoop 1.0
    2. Apache Ambari is used for installation and provisioning
    3. The same Apache Amabari is behind the Hortonworks Management Console
    4. For Data integration, HDP offers WebHDFS, HCatalog APIs, and Talend Open Studio
    5. Apache HCatalog is the solution offering metadata and table management

  2. Hortonworks Data Platform is 100% open source—I really appreciate Hortonworks’s dedication to the Apache Hadoop project and open source community

  3. HDP comes with 3 levels of support subscriptions, pricing starting at $12500/year for a 10 nodes cluster

One of the most interesting aspects of the Hortonworks Data Platform release is that the high-availability (HA) option for HDP is based on using VMWare-powered virtual machines for the NameNode and JobTracker. My first thought about this approach is that it was chosen to strengthen a partnership with VMWare. On the other hand, Hadoop 2.0 contains already a new highly-available version of the NameNode (Cloudera Hadoop Distribution uses this solution) and VMWare has bigger plans for a virtualization-friendly Hadoop environment with project Serengeti.

You can read a lot of posts about this announcement, but you’ll find all the details in Hortonworks’s John Kreisa’s post here and the PR announcement.

Edd Dumbill enumerates the various components of the Hadoop ecosystem:

Hadoop ecosystem

My quick reference of the Hadoop ecosystem is including a couple of other tools that are not in this list, with the exception of Ambari and HCatalog which were released later.
