CDH4 and Cloudera Enterprise 4.0 Now Available by Charles Zedlewski.
From the post:
I’m very pleased to announce the immediate General Availability of CDH4 and Cloudera Manager 4 (part of the Cloudera Enterprise 4.0 subscription). These releases are an exciting milestone for Cloudera customers, Cloudera users and the open source community as a whole.
Functionality
Both CDH4 and Cloudera Manager 4 are chock full of new features. Many new features will appeal to enterprises looking to move more important workloads onto the Hadoop platform. CDH4 includes high availability for the filesystem, ability to support multiple namespaces, HBase table and column level security, improved performance, HBase replication and greatly improved usability and browser support for the Hue web interface. Cloudera Manager 4 includes multi-cluster and multi-version support, automation for high availability and MapReduce2, multi-namespace support, cluster-wide heatmaps, host monitoring and automated client configurations.
Other features will appeal to developers and ISV’s looking to build applications on top of CDH and / or Cloudera Manager. HBase coprocessors enable the development of new kinds of real-time applications. MapReduce2 opens up Hadoop clusters to new data processing frameworks other that MapReduce. There are new REST API’s both for the Hadoop distributed filesystem and for Cloudera Manager.
