Hadoop Toolbox: When to Use What by Mohammad Tariq.
From the post:
Eight years ago not even Doug Cutting would have thought that the tool which he’s naming after his kid’s soft toy would so soon become a rage and change the way people and organizations look at their data. Today Hadoop and Big Data have almost become synonyms to each other. But Hadoop is not just Hadoop now. Over time it has evolved into one big herd of various tools, each meant to serve a different purpose. But glued together they give you a powerpacked combo.
Having said that, one must be careful while choosing these tools for their specific use case as one size doesn’t fit all. What is working for someone might not be that productive for you. So, here I will show you which tool should be picked in which scenario. It’s not a big comparative study but a short intro to some very useful tools. And, this is based totally on my experience so there is always some scope of suggestions. Please feel free to comment or suggest if you have any. I would love to hear from you. Let’s get started :
Not shallow enough to be useful for the c-suite types, not deep enough for decision making.
Nice to use in a survey context, where users need an overview of the Hadoop ecosystem.
