In today’s digital transformation, big data has given organizations an edge to analyze customer behavior & hyper-personalize every interaction which results into cross-sell, improved customer experience, and obviously more revenue.
The market for Big Data has grown up steadily as more and more enterprises have implemented adata-driven strategy. While Apache Hadoop is the most well-established tool for analyzing big data, there are thousands of big data tools out there. All of them promising to save you time, money, and help you uncover never-before-seen business insights.
I have selected few to get you going….
Avro: It was developed by Doug Cutting & used for data serialization for encoding the schema of Hadoop files.
Cassandra: is a distributed and Open Source database. Designed to handle large amounts of distributed data across commodity servers while providing a highly available service. It is a NoSQL solution that was initially developed by Facebook. It is used by many organizations like Netflix, Cisco, Twitter.
Drill: An open source distributed system for performing interactive analysis on large-scale datasets. It is similar to Google’s Dremel, and is managed by Apache.
Elasticsearch: An open source search engine built on Apache Lucene. It is developed on Java, can power extremely fast searches that support your data discovery applications.
Flume: is a framework for populating Hadoop with data from web servers, application servers and mobile devices. It is the plumbing between sources and Hadoop.
HCatalog: is a centralized metadata management and sharing service for Apache Hadoop. It allows for a unified view of all data in Hadoop clusters and allows diverse tools, including Pig and Hive, to process any data elements without needing to know physically where in the cluster the data is stored.
Impala: provides fast, interactive SQL queries directly on your Apache Hadoop data stored in HDFS or HBase using the same metadata, SQL syntax (Hive SQL), ODBC driver and user interface (Hue Beeswax) as Apache Hive. This provides a familiar and unified platform for batch-oriented or real-time queries.
