We have our own team that is capable of handling deployments. We did not need to have an integrator or consultant come in.

We implement the product in-house.

Our cluster has been implemented in-house. We have automated the entire installation of Hadoop, set-up and configuration included.

We had IBM set up both of our installations. 

We used an in-house team. My advice is to study hard and read all the documentation thoroughly before starting any implementation. It is paramount that one understands the system before implementing it.

I work for a vendor team.

I was involved in multiple projects. Usually, it was done in-house with paid support.

We did it in-house.

An in-house team implemented it: two admins, seven developers, one data scientist, one PM and 22 business users at the customer (end-user side).

We did it in-house.

We used an in-house team. Take your time and utilize the free resources provided by Hortonworks.

My colleagues and I are the implementation team. The general advice is to start out with a small enough scope. Try to get an MVP up and running before bringing out the big guns./

The implementation was at the clients datacenter. My advice is to perform a POC on premise or via a virtual machine to learn how to use it and how to tune the configuration of each Hadoop component.

When implementing it in production, firstly you need to have a clear view of the requirements you need to perform the install. For example, if you are using a local repository to install the software, it has to be updated with Hortonworks sources, especially if there are security rules (firewall access, root access limitation, etc.).

My last piece of advice is that if you have a heavy load, it is really important to implement the solution on premise, not in a virtualized environment. If you do both, you will see the difference in performance.

We implemented it with our in-house team.

We have an in-house team to do implementations. I would advise that all implementations get seen through all the way to having users smoke test applications to ensure correct functionality.

It was done in-house.
