David Menninger of Ventana Research presented on the findings of Ventana Research's benchmark research project examining Hadoop adoption and usage. The research found that over half of organizations surveyed either have Hadoop deployed or plan to deploy it within the next year. Hadoop is generally being used as a supplemental technology rather than a replacement. Common uses include analyzing log and event data as well as unstructured text and multimedia data. The Apache distribution and Cloudera are the most commonly used. Respondents report higher levels of benefits from Hadoop including increased data retention and analysis speed.
