What it really means when someone says 'Hadoop'

Derek, your Hadoop taxonomy seems more informed and accurate than Forrester’s. What’s often lost in the Hadoop discussion is the question of how data gets into a Hadoop infrastructure in the first place. A case in point – the Karmasphere infographic shows example data sources (the blue boxes) and Hadoop (the yellow box). If we’re to believe the diagram, between the blue and the yellow, a miracle happens.

To be clear, I’m not picking on Karmasphere. Their diagram serves a purpose and is necessarily simplistic. My point is that miracles don’t happen; organizations need to be incredibly thoughtful about what data they’re going to deliver to Hadoop, where it’s coming from and how it’s connected.

Equally important is the reality that some data (e.g., from sensor scans, wireless apps, systems monitors, etc.) travels at such high velocities that it will quickly swamp a typical Hadoop/HDFS infrastructure. For high velocity “firehose” applications, the data tier needs a front-end cache that can ingest incoming data at very high speeds, manage that data statefully for real-time analytics, and deliver it to Hadoop in a controlled way. Products like VoltDB (I work for the company) offer an excellent solution for managing the “impedance mismatch” between high velocity data sources and high volume analytic infrustructures like Hadoop.
