Relationship between mapR and Hadoop

- The MapR corporations is a large company or group of companies is selling a professional hadoop services and products. In the implementation of HDFS they have their own Hadoop distribution.
- MapR Connect Data Platform, which is 100% binary compatible with the Apache Hadoop distributed file system (HDFS) to ensure plug-and-play similarity and no vendor lock-in.
- A core modules of the MapR Platform is MapR-FS, read-write option, the NFS-mountable distributed file-system has been written in C++ program that directly access to a storage hardware and dramatically improving a performance and easy to administrat.
- The other unlike Hadoop distributions that needs separate clusters for many applications, they can built a process to both distributed files in MapR Platform, database tables, and event streams in a single combined layer.
- This company is support for two operation (e.g., HBase) and analytic application (e.g., Apache Drill, Hive, or Impala) on one cluster, significantly decreasing costs as you grow your big data deployment.
