Hadoop 2.0: More than MapReduce

SAN JOSE — Two years ago, the Hadoop Summit in Santa Clara was sponsored by seven companies, one of which had only two employees: its founders. The conference was so talk-heavy that an expo hall was out of the question. Last week, the conference's new home in San Jose hosted a hair under 50 sponsor companies.

Heavyweights such as Cisco, Dell, Microsoft and NetApp have all sidled up to the Hadoop bar to have a drink from the flow of demand that seems to be spilling into the marketplace. The two-person company from 2010 was called Datameer, and today it's employing around 30 people and offering version 2.0 of its Excel-like interface for constructing Hadoop data-mining endeavors.

All of this growth in the industry around Hadoop is mirrored in the Apache Software Foundation, which recently announced that it had experienced unprecedented expansion and graduation of Incubator projects. Powered by the fast evolution and frequent creation of Apache projects to supplement Hadoop, the foundation now has more than 100 active top-level projects for the first time.

Indeed, an Apache Software Foundation announcement noted Big Data projects around Hadoop as a primary reason for the growth in participation, sponsorships and overall projects in 2011. The announcement cited an IDC report that predicted a 60% growth in the size of the Hadoop market annually.
