Hadoop - Looking to the Future
By Arun Murthy (Founder of Hortonworks, Creator of YARN)
The Apache Hadoop ecosystem began as just HDFS & MapReduce nearly 10 years ago in 2006.
Very much like the Ship of Theseus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_of_Theseus), Hadoop has undergone incredible amount of transformation from multi-purpose YARN to interactive SQL with Hive/Tez to machine learning with Spark.
Much more lies ahead: whether you want sub-second SQL with Hive or use SSDs/Memory effectively in HDFS or manage Metadata-driven security policies in Ranger, the Hadoop ecosystem in the Apache Software Foundation continues to evolve to meet new challenges and use-cases.
Arun C Murthy has been involved with Apache Hadoop since the beginning of the project - nearly 10 years now. In the beginning he led MapReduce, went on to create YARN and then drove Tez & the Stinger effort to get to interactive & sub-second Hive. Recently he has been very involved in the Metadata and Governance efforts. In between he founded Hortonworks, the first public Hadoop distribution company.

Title: Unlocking Hadoop’s Potential
In 2013 with the release of Apache Hadoop 2 and YARN, Hadoop has moved past its humble roots as a web-scale, batch-only data processing system and unleashed a wave of interactive and real time use cases capable of running natively in Hadoop across shared datasets. With each release, new use cases are enabled and more and more business requirements are being addressed by broader community initiatives. Join Hortonworks Founder Arun Murthy as he looks at the current and future state of Hadoop, discusses the new use cases being enabled, and reviews recent community initiatives addressing key enterprise requirements.
