Products and practitioners One point that stood out from the rest of the news was Hitachi Data Systems Corp.’s description of Pentaho Corp., which it recently acquired, as a “lever” to be used in Hitachi’s approach to data management and the Internet of Things (IoT). Describing Pentaho’s application sets as a way of “transforming, analyzing and presenting” data, Gilbert noted the difficulty for a company of moving from representing itself as providing a platform to providing a tool, or vice versa. With the “turbocharged” business intelligence tools of Hadoop-linked data management, and the effort by Pentaho to unify those tools while also providing user interfaces suited to the needs of each client, the developers and product managers have their work cut out for them. Spark vs. cloud-native services Referring to experiences in talking to people on the conference floor, as well as the results of a survey, Gilbert and Vellante found that while there was certainly an enthusiasm for the new flexibility offered by Apache Spark, the challenger to Hadoop’s widespread cloud-services integration, there were also concerns about aspects of the framework that have not yet materialized. Spark’s speed and ease of use was contrasted with worries about security layers, data lineage and other enterprise needs. As Gilbert pointed out in reference to Pentaho’s relation with Hadoop, “All the new projects that are coming along … have made it so Hadoop might be open source, but it’s no longer a single ecosystem.” How this will affect product development and integration remains to be seen, but by all accounts, the forecast is still sunny. @theCUBE #PWorld15
