Owen O’Malley on Hortonworks’ blog:

As representatives of this open, community led effort we are very proud to announce the first release of the new and improved Apache Hive, version 0.11. This substantial release embodies the work of a wide group of people from Microsoft, Facebook , Yahoo, SAP and others. Together we have addressed 386 JIRA tickets, of which there were 28 new features and 276 bug fixes. There were FIFTY-FIVE developers involved in this and I would like to thank every one of them.

This is indeed the power of open. But don’t forget that too much bragging might diminish it: keep repeating a word and its value will slowly vanish.

Shaun Connolly for the Hortonworks blog:

we believe the fastest way to innovate is to do our work within the open source community, introduce enterprise feature requirements into that public domain, and to work diligently to progress existing open source projects and incubate new projects to meet those needs.

In support of our approach, this week we’ve announced the submission of two new incubation projects to the Apache Software foundation together with the launch of the “Stinger Initiative”, all aimed at enhancing the security and performance of Hadoop applications.

I’m forced, but extremely happy to take back what I said.

• Stinger: an initiative to speed up Apache Hive for interactive queries. Read about it here
• Know Gateway: a solution for authentication and security in Hadoop. More details here
• Tez framework: a new Hadoop YARN-based runtime for improved latency and throughput. Details here

Hortonworks believes in open source.
