We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"As compared to Hive on MapReduce, Impala on MPP returns results of SQL queries in a fairly short amount of time, and is relatively fast when reading data into other platforms like R.""The solution is easy to expand. We haven't seen any issues with it in that sense. We've added 10 servers, and we've added two nodes. We've been expanding since we started using it since we started out so small. Companies that need to scale shouldn't have a problem doing so.""Its integration is Hadoop's best feature because that allows us to support different tools in a big data platform.""The most valuable features are the ability to process the machine data at a high speed, and to add structure to our data so that we can generate relevant analytics.""We selected Apache Hadoop because it is not dependent on third-party vendors.""What comes with the standard setup is what we mostly use, but Ambari is the most important.""Initially, with RDBMS alone, we had a lot of work and few servers running on-premise and on cloud for the PoC and incubation. With the use of Hadoop and ecosystem components and tools, and managing it in Amazon EC2, we have created a Big Data "lab" which helps us to centralize all our work and solutions into a single repository. This has cut down the time in terms of maintenance, development and, especially, data processing challenges.""Two valuable features are its scalability and parallel processing. There are jobs that cannot be done unless you have massively parallel processing."

"It has very amazing smart grid query feature for very fast aggregate queries across millions of rows"

Cons
"It could be more user-friendly.""The key shortcoming is its inability to handle queries when there is insufficient memory. This limitation can be bypassed by processing the data in chunks.""The solution is very expensive.""It would be helpful to have more information on how to best apply this solution to smaller organizations, with less data, and grow the data lake.""In the next release, I would like to see Hive more responsive for smaller queries and to reduce the latency.""The stability of the solution needs improvement.""The upgrade path should be improved because it is not as easy as it should be.""The price could be better. I think we would use it more, but the company didn't want to pay for it. Hortonworks doesn't exist anymore, and Cloudera killed the free version of Hadoop."

"Only the data from the columns that reached 2GB will actually decrease. Other columns below 2GB in size do not leave the disk."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Do take into consider that data storage and compute capacity scale differently and hence purchasing a "boxed" / 'all-in-one" solution (software and hardware) might not be the best idea."
  • "​There are no licensing costs involved, hence money is saved on the software infrastructure​."
  • "This is a low cost and powerful solution."
  • "The price of Apache Hadoop could be less expensive."
  • "If my company can use the cloud version of Apache Hadoop, particularly the cloud storage feature, it would be easier and would cost less because an on-premises deployment has a higher cost during storage, for example, though I don't know exactly how much Apache Hadoop costs."
  • "We don't directly pay for it. Our clients pay for it, and they usually don't complain about the price. So, it is probably acceptable."
  • "The price could be better. Hortonworks no longer exists, and Cloudera killed the free version of Hadoop."
  • "We just use the free version."

  • "Our pricing was based on server instances and it was actually very cheap compared to Oracle. I guess you get what you pay for."

    Overview
    The Apache Hadoop project develops open-source software for reliable, scalable, distributed computing. The Apache Hadoop software library is a framework that allows for the distributed processing of large data sets across clusters of computers using simple programming models. It is designed to scale up from single servers to thousands of machines, each offering local computation and storage. Rather than rely on hardware to deliver high-availability, the library itself is designed to detect and handle failures at the application layer, so delivering a highly-available service on top of a cluster of computers, each of which may be prone to failures.

    Infobright's high performance analytic database is designed for analyzing large volumes of machine-generated data
