At Hadoop Summit 2013, inside theCUBE, John Furrier of SiliconAngle and Dave Vellante of Wikibon co-host a live interview with Arun Murthy.
Murthy is the Founder and Architect of Hortonworks. The major theme at Hadoop 2013 is YARN, and in the interview, John Furrier pointed out there is a lot of pressure to deliver a viable platform for enterprises, asking Murthy where the industry was in that respect. He stated that Hadoop and YARN are going to be "a big, big piece of the puzzle," as "YARN allows you to interact with data in ways that were never possible before."
Betting on YARN
As the company is making a bet that all data is going to end up in Hadoop, "we need to be a platform, not just a solution." A solution can solve a distinct set of problems, a platform allows people to build solutions on top of it, add enhancements, and innovate.
"Yarn is a re-imagination, re-acrchitecture of Hadoop itself," Murthy said. It is the second generation of the architecture and allows you to run multiple apps on same platform. It gives users the ability to run not just MapReduce, but 7 other algorithms along with it, all in one platform. The key part, he added, was that "you get significantly more value off of your existing investment."
Knitting YARN into the community
On of the biggest strengths of the Hadoop community, Murthy said, was that "it's very pragmatic," as it is made up of not just developers, but also professionals who are part of support teams, the people who make sure that implemented platforms and solutions actually work.
Asked about compliance with YARN and Hortonworks Data Platform, he said that the company runs a YARN certification program, which allows certifying applications and tools on the platform, thus when addressing potential customers, they can be sure they are getting "good support and feedback from vendors."
Knitting YARN into the business
Talking about their customer pool, Murthy said it was spread across different industries and levels of savviness. In many cases, enterprises have 7-8 implementations of Hadoop, and Hortonworks gets called to then help them understand the security, compliance, and auditing aspects and how to run their applications on it. "That is one of the reasons Knox was born," he added, to "take enterprise requirements and solve them inside the platform."
