Jack Norris - Hadoop Summit 2013 - theCUBE - #HadoopSummit
>>Ash it's, you know, what will that mean to my investment? And the announcement fusion IO is that, you know, we're 25 times faster on read intensive HBase applications. The combination. So as organizations are deploying Hadoop, and they're looking at technology changes coming down the pike, they can rest assured that they'll be able to take advantage of those in a much more aggressive fashion with map R than, than other distribution. >>Jack, how I got to ask you, we were talking last night at the Hadoop summit, kind of the kickoff party and, you know, everyone was there. All the top execs were there and all the developers, you know, we were in the queue. I think, I think that either Dave or myself coined the term, the big three of big data, you guys ROMs cloud Cloudera map R and Hortonworks, really at the, at the beginning of the key players early on and Charles from Cloudera was just recently on. And, and he's like, oh no, this, this enterprise grade stuff has been kicked around. It's been there from the beginning. You guys have been there from the beginning and Matt BARR has never, ever waffled on your, on your messaging. You've always been very clear. Hey, we're going to take a dupe open source a dupe and turn it into an enterprise grade product. Right. So that's clear, right? That's, that's, that's a great, that's a great, so what's your take on this because now enterprise grade is kind of there, I guess, the buzz around getting the, like the folks that have crossed the chasm implemented. So what can you comment on that about one enterprise grade, the reality of it, certainly from your perspective, you haven't been any but others. And then those folks that are now rolling it out for the first time, what can you share with them around? What does it mean to be enterprise grade? >>So enterprise grade is more about the customer experience than, than a marketing claim. And, you know, by enterprise grade, what we're talking about are some of the capabilities and features that they've grown to expect in their, their other enterprise applications. So, you know, the ability to meet full S SLA is full ha recovery from multiple failures, rolling upgrades, data protection was consistent snapshots business continuity with mirroring the ability to share a cluster across multiple groups and have, you know, volumes. I mean, there's a, there's a host of features that fall under the umbrella enterprise grade. And when you move from no support for any of those features to support to a few of them, I don't think that's going to, to ha it's more like moving to low availability. And, and there's just a lot of differences in terms of when we say enterprise grade with those features mean versus w what we view as kind of an incomplete story. So >>What do you, what do you mean by low availability? Well, I mean, it's tongue in cheek. It's nice. It's a good term. It's really saying, you know, just available when you sometimes is that what you mean? Is this not true availability? I mean, availability is 99.9%. Right? >>Right. So if you've got a, an ha solution that can't recover from multiple failures, that's downtime. If you've got an HBase application that's running online and you have data that goes down and it takes 10 to 30 minutes to have the region servers recover it from another place in the distribution, that's downtime. If you have snapshots that aren't consistent across the cluster, that doesn't provide data protection, there's no point in time recovery for, for a cluster. So, you know, there's a lot of details underneath that, but what it, what it amounts to is, do you have interruptions? Do you have downtime? Do you have the potential for losing data? And our answer is you need a series of features that are hardened and proven to deliver that. >>What about recoverability? You mentioned that you guys have done a lot of work in that area with snapshotting, that's kind of being kicked around, are our folks addressing, what are the comp what's your competition doing in those areas of recoverability just mentioned availability. Okay, got that. Recoverability security, compliance, and usability. Those are the areas that seem to be the hot focus areas what's going on in the energy. How would you give them the grade, the letter grade, if you will, candidly, compared to what you guys offer? Well, the, >>The first of all, it's take recoverability. You know, one of the tenants is you have a point in time recovery, the ability to restore to a previous point that's consistent across the cluster. And right now there's, there's no point in time recovery for, for HDFS, for the files. And there's no point in time recovery for HBase tables. So there's snapshot support. It's being talked about in the open source community with respect to snapshots, but it's being referred to in the JIRAs as fuzzy snapshots and really compared to copy table. >>So, Jack, I want to turn the conversation to the, kind of the topic we've talked about before kind of the open versus a proprietary that, that whole debate we've, we've, we've heard about that. We talked about that before here on the cube. So just kind of reiterate for us your take. I mean, we, we hear perhaps because of the show we're at, there's a lot of talk about the open source nature of Hadoop and some of the purists, as you might call them are saying, it's gotta be open a hundred percent Patrick compatible, et cetera. And then there's others that are taking a different approach, explain your approach and why you think that's the key way to make, to really spur adoption of a dupe and make it >>W w we're we're a part of the community we're, we've got, you know, commitment going on. We've, you know, pioneered and pushed a patchy drill, but we have done innovations as well. And I think that those innovations are really required to support and extend the, the whole ecosystem. So canonical distributes RN, three D distribution. We've got, you know, all our, our packages are, are available on get hub and, and open source. So it's not, it's not a binary debate. And I think the, the point being that there's companies that have jumped ahead and now that Peloton is, is, you know, pedaling faster and, and we'll, we'll catch up. We'll streamline. I think the difference is we rearchitected. So we're basically in a race car and, you know, are, are racing ahead with, with enterprise grade features that are required. And there's a lot of work that still needs to be done, needs to be accomplished before that full rearchitecture is, is in place. >>Well, I mean, I think for me, the proof is really in the pudding when you, when it comes to talk about customers that are doing real things and real production, grade mission, critical applications that they're running. And to me that shows the successor or relative success of a given approach. So I know you guys are working with companies like ancestry.com, live nation and Quicken loans. Maybe you could, could you walk us through a couple of those scenarios? Let's take ancestry.com. Obviously they've got a huge amount of data based on the kind of geological information, where do you guys do >>With them? Yeah, so they've got, I mean, they've got the world's largest family genealogy services available on the web. So there's a massive amount of data that they make accessible and, and, you know, ability for, for analysis. And then they've rolled out new features and new applications. One of which is to ship a kit out, have people spit in a tube, returned back and they do DNA matching and reveal additional details. So really some really fabulous leading edge things that are being done with, with the use of, of Hadoop. >>Interesting. So talk about when you went to, to work with them, what were some of their key requirements? Was it around, it was more around the enterprise enterprise, grade security and uptime kind of equation, or was it more around some of the analytics? What, what, what's the kind of the killer use case for them? >>It's kind of, you know, it's, it's hard with a specific company or even, you know, to generalize across companies. Cause they're really three main areas in terms of ease of use and administration dependability, which includes the full ha and then, and then performance. And in some cases, it's, it's just one of those that kind of drives it. And it's used to justify, in other cases, it's kind of a collection. The ease of use is being able to use a cluster, not only as Hadoop, but to access it and treat it like enterprise storage. So it's a complete POSIX compliance file system underneath that allows the, the mounting and access and updates and using it in dynamic read-write. So what that means from an application level, it's, it's faster, it's much easier to administer and it's much easier and reliable for developers to, to utilize. >>I got to ask you about the marketing question cause I see, you know, map our, you guys have done a good job of marketing. Certainly we want to be thankful to you guys is supporting the cube in the past and you guys have been great supporters of our mission, but now the ecosystem's evolving a lot more competition. Claudia mentioned those eight companies they're tracking in quote Hadoop, and certainly Jeff and I, and, and SiliconANGLE by look at there's a lot more because Hadoop washing has been going on now for the term Hadoop watching me and jumping in and doing Hadoop, slapping that onto an existing solution. It's not been happening full, full, full bore for a year. At least what's the next for you guys to break above the noise? Obviously the communities are very active projects are coming online. You guys have your mission in the enterprise. What's the strategy for you guys going forward is more of the same and anything new even share. >>Yeah, I, I, I think as far as breaking above the noise, it will be our customers, their success and their use cases that really put the spotlight on what the differences are in terms of, of, you know, using a big data platform. And I think what, what companies will start to realize is I'd rather analogy between supply chain and the big, the big revolution in supply chain was focusing on inventory at each stage in the supply chain. And how do you reduce that inventory level and how do you speed the, the flow of goods and the agility of a company for competitive advantage. And I think we're going to view data the same way. So companies instead of raw data that they're copying and moving across different silos, if they're able to process data in place and send small results sets, they're going to be faster, more agile and more competitive. >>And that puts the spotlight on what data platform is out there that can support a broad set of applications and it can have the broadest set of functionality. So, you know, what we're delivering is a mission grade, you know, enterprise grade mission, critical support platform that supports MapReduce and does that high performance provides NFS POSIX access. So you can use it like a file system integrates, you know, enterprise grade, no SQL applications. So now you can do, you know, high-speed consistent performance, real time operations in addition to batch streaming, integrated search, et cetera. So it's, it's really exciting to provide that platform and have organizations transform what they're doing. >>How's the feedback on with Ted Dunning? I haven't seen a lot of buzz on the Twittersphere is getting positive feedback here. He's a, a tech athlete. He's a guru, he's an expert. He's got his hands in all the pies. He's a scientist type. What's he up to? What's his, what's his role within Mapa and he's obviously playing in the open-source community. What's he up to these days, >>Chief application architect, he's on the leading edge of my house. So machine learning, so, you know, sharing insights there, he was speaking at the storm meetup two nights ago and sharing how you can integrate long running batch, predictive analytics with real-time streaming and how the use of snapshots really that, that easy and possible. He travels the world and is helping organizations understand how they can take some very complex, long running processes and really simplify and shorten those >>Chance to meet him in New York city had last had duke world at a, at a, a party and great guy, fantastic geek, and certainly is doing a great work and shout out to Ted. Congratulations, continue up that support. How's everyone else doing? How's John and Treevis doing how's the team at map are we're pedaling as best as you can growing >>Really quickly. No, we're just shifting gears. Would it be on pedaling >>Engine? >>Yeah. Give us an update on the company in terms of how the growth and kind of where you guys are moving that. >>Yeah. We're, we're expanding worldwide, you know, just this, you know, last few months we've opened up offices and in London and Munich and Paris, we're expanding in Asia, Japan and Korea. So w our, our sales and services and engineering, and basically across the whole company continues to expand rapidly. Some really great, interesting partnerships and, and a lot of growth Natalie's we add customers, but it's, it's nice to see customers that continue to really grow their use of map are within their organization, both in terms of amount of data that they're analyzing and the number of applications that they're bringing to bear on the platform. >>Well, that a little bit, because I think, you know, one of the, one of the trends we do see is when a company brings in big data, big data platform, and they might start experiment experimenting with it, build an application. And then maybe in the, maybe in the marketing department, then the sales guys see it and they say, well, maybe we can do something with that. How is that typically the kind of the experience you're seeing and how do you support companies that want to start expanding beyond those initial use cases to support other departments, potentially even other physical locations around the world? How do you, how do you kind of, >>That's been the beauty of that is if you have a platform that can support those new applications. So if you know, mission critical workloads are not an issue, if you support volumes so that you can logically separate makes it much easier, which we have. So one of our customers Zions bank, they brought in Matt BARR to do fraud detection. And pretty soon the fact that they were able to collect all of that data, they had other departments coming to them and saying, Hey, we'd like to use that to do analysis on because we're not getting that data from our existing system. >>Yeah. They come in and you're sitting on a goldmine, there are use cases. And you also mentioned kind of, as you're expanding internationally, what's your take on the international market for big data to do specifically is, is the U S kind of a leaps and bounds ahead of the rest of the world in terms of adoption of the technology. What are you seeing out there in terms of where, where the rest of the, >>I wouldn't say leaps and bounds, and I think internationally, they're able to maybe skip some of the experimental steps. So we're seeing, we're seeing deployment of class financial services and telecom, and it's, it's fairly broad recruit technologies there. The largest provider of recruiting services, indeed.com is one of their subsidiaries they're doing a lot with, with Hadoop and map are specifically, so it's, it's, it's been, it's been expanding rapidly. Fantastic. >>I also, you know, when you think about Europe, what's going on with Google and some of the, the privacy concerns even here, or I should say, is there, are there different regulatory environments you've got to navigate when you're talking about data and how you use data when you're starting to expand to other, other locales? >>Yeah. There's typically by vertical, there's different, different requirements, HIPAA and healthcare, and basal to, and financial services. And so all of those, and it, it, it basically, it's the same theme of when you're bringing Hadoop into an organization and into a data center, the same sorts of concerns and requirements and privacy that you're applying in other areas will be applied on Hindu. >>I'm now kind of turning back to the technology. You mentioned Apache drill. I'd love to get an update on kind of where, where that stands. You know, it's put, then put that into context for people. We hear a lot about the SQL and Hadoop question here, where does drill fit into that, into that equation? >>Well, the, the, you know, there's a lot of different approaches to provide SQL access. A lot of that is driven by how do you, how do you leverage some of the talent and organization that, you know, speak SQL? So there's developments with respect to hive, you know, there's other projects out there. Apache drill is an open source project, getting a lot of community involvement. And the design center there is pretty interesting. It started from the beginning as an open source project. And two main differences. One was in looking at supporting SQL it's, let's do full ANSI SQL. So it's full 2003 ANSI, sequel, not a SQL like, and that'll support the greatest number of applications and, you know, avoid a lot of support and, and issues. And the second design center is let's support a broad set of data sources. So nested sources like Jason scheme on discovery, and basically fitting it into an enterprise environment, which sometimes is kinda messy and can get messy as acquisitions happen, et cetera. So it's complimentary, it's about, you know, enabling interactive, low latency queries. >>Jack, I want to give you the final word. We are out of time. Thanks for coming on the cube. Really preached. Great to see you again, keep alumni, but final word. And we'll end the segment here on the cube is your quick thoughts on what's happening here at Hadoop world. What is this show about? Share with the audience? What's the vibe, the summary quick soundbite on Hadoop. >>I think I'll go back to how we started. It's not, if you used to do putz, how you use to do and, you know, look at not only the first application, but what it's going to look like in multiple applications and pay attention to what enterprise grade means. >>Okay. They were secure. We got a more coverage coming, Jack Norris with map R I'll say one of the big three original, big three, still on the, on the list in our mind, and the market's mind with a unique approach to Hadoop and the mid-June great. This is the cube I'm Jennifer with Jeff Kelly. We'll be right back after this short break, >>Let's settle the PR program out there and fighting gap tech news right there. Plenty of the attack was that providing a new gadget. Let's talk about the latest game name, but just the.
