WANdisco Launches Production-Ready Hadoop 2 Distribution
From the post:
WANdisco today announced it has made its WANdisco Distro (WDD) available for free download.
WDD is a production-ready version powered by Apache Hadoop 2 based on the most recent release, including the latest fixes. These certified Apache Hadoop binaries undergo the same quality assurance process as WANdisco’s enterprise software solutions.
The WDD team is led by Dr. Konstantin Boudnik, who is one of the original Hadoop developers, has been an Apache Hadoop committer since 2009 and served as a Hadoop architect with Yahoo! This team of Hadoop development, QA and support professionals is focused on software quality. WANdisco’s Apache Hadoop developers have been involved in the open source project since its inception and have the authority within the Apache Hadoop community to make changes to the code base, for fast fixes and enhancements.
By adding its active-active replication technology to WDD, WANdisco is able to eliminate the single points of failure (SPOFs) and performance bottlenecks inherent in Hadoop. With this technology, the same data is simultaneously readable and writable on every server, and every server is actively supporting user requests. There are no passive or standby servers with complex administration procedures required for failover and recovery.
