How are the Hadoop companies doing now?
3 or 4 years ago the term BigData and Hadoop gathered lot of attention. Now I guess the hype train has passed on to AI ML and perhaps Blockchain. In the current environment how are companies with commercial offerings around open source projects doing? Specifically interested in knowing about Cloudera, Databricks and Hortonworks.
Databricks is doing pretty well. Not sure about the others
Isn’t databricks in the same boat? Their business model is exactly the same as others.
They shifted to become data science company LOL
Struggling to adopt
Two of the big names in this area, Hortonworks and Cloudera, are publicly listed companies. Their current available numbers seem fine at a quick glance.
I find blind opinions more trustworthy .... even theranos has great financial numbers.
Wouldn’t Cloud provider like Google/Amazon/Microsoft render these hadoop companies obsolete in the long run? I’m not sure what are their competitive advantages anymore
Yes. I feel so too. The complexity of managing the IT infrastructure is too much. However the onprem infrastructure is not going away anytime soon.
Hadoop in the cloud. https://www.cloudera.com/products/cloud.html Hadoop will not be obsolete due to cloud providers.
We are doing great. Spark is great. Come to spark summit
Databricks is doing great... Not the other two..
Databricks is doing really well. Hyper growth. The Hadoop companies are not doing great because they have only solved the storage problem, and when it comes to the cloud, none of the tech they developed matter (HDFS is replaced by S3, MapReduce replaces by Spark, and YARN is useless in the cloud).
Does data bricks have a consulting practice as well? People who help customers build solutions on data bricks platform?
Short answer, no. My company (and me specifically) is a data bricks partner and implementer if you're interested
Doomed!
