Available Now: HDP 2.2 by Jim Walker.
From the post:
We are very pleased to announce that the Hortonworks Data Platform Version 2.2 (HDP) is now generally available for download. With thousands of enhancements across all elements of the platform spanning data access to security to governance, rolling upgrades and more, HDP 2.2 makes it even easier for our customers to incorporate HDP as a core component of Modern Data Architecture (MDA).
HDP 2.2 represents the very latest innovation from across the Hadoop ecosystem, where literally hundreds of developers have been collaborating with us to evolve each of the individual Apache Software Foundation (ASF) projects from the broader Apache Hadoop ecosystem. These projects have now been brought together into the complete and open Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP) delivering more than 100 new features and closing out thousands of issues across Apache Hadoop and its related projects.
These distinct ASF projects from across the Hadoop ecosystem span every aspect of the data platform and are easily categorized into:
- Data management: this is the core of the platform, including Apache Hadoop and its subcomponents of HDFS and YARN, which is the architectural center of HDP.
- Data access: this represents the broad range of options for developers to access and process data, stored in HDFS and depending on their application requirements.
- The supporting enterprise services of governance, operations and security that are fundamental to any enterprise data platform.
How many of the 100 new features will you try by the end of December, 2014? 😉
A sandbox edition is promised by December 9, 2014.
Tis the season to be jolly!
