    Curt, SAP is actually pretty clear on their integration with Hadoop. Think of HANA as a data virtualization engine, which can join, cache, etc any data sources, including HDFS. Cheers!

    Thanks, Boris.

    So how does Sybase IQ fit into the picture?

    Hi Kurt,
    I feel it’s worth pointing out that Parquet is not custom to Impala — in fact, at the moment Parquet is in use at Twitter and Impala is not (we have a lot of nested data structures, which Impala doesn’t support yet). Impala certainly works better on it, but so does Pig, Cascading, etc. There is nothing Impala-specific in Parquet.

    Intel, really? I would’ve expected MSFT.

    Tempers on our sleeves, Curt? I always thought that was openness and transparency ;-).

    We started shipping the Hadoop 2 code last year, despite the fact that YARN was then (and arguably is now) still too fragile for production workloads. We went to a lot of trouble to back-port MapReduce 1 to the release so that our customers could get the HA namenode, performance improvements and other goodness in the 2.0 trunk release, and still have production-grade MapReduce available. We frankly expected more experimentation with the YARN (aka MR2) code than we’ve seen, but I am betting that trial deployments and test workloads will start in the wild in 2H13.

    Dmitry,

    Microsoft and Teradata are currently Hortonworks’ 2 best friends. An ideal deal would preserve both those relationships.

    —————————-

    Meanwhile, a subsequent rumor has, in its most popular form, Hortonworks raising $50 million at a $500 million valuation. If that’s exactly correct, then a $700 million near-term buy-out price is too low.
