Hortonworks Data Platform v1.0 Download Now Available
From the post:
If you haven’t yet noticed, we have made Hortonworks Data Platform v1.0 available for download from our website. Previously, Hortonworks Data Platform was only available for evaluation for members of the Technology Preview Program or via our Virtual Sandbox (hosted on Amazon Web Services). Moving forward and effective immediately, Hortonworks Data Platform is available to the general public.
Hortonworks Data Platform is a 100% open source data management platform, built on Apache Hadoop. As we have stated on many occasions, we are absolutely committed to the Apache Hadoop community and the Apache development process. As such, all code developed by Hortonworks has been contributed back to the respective Apache projects.
Version 1.0 of Hortonworks Data Platform includes Apache Hadoop-1.0.3, the latest stable line of Hadoop as defined by the Apache Hadoop community. In addition to the core Hadoop components (including MapReduce and HDFS), we have included the latest stable releases of essential projects including HBase 0.92.1, Hive 0.9.0, Pig 0.9.2, Sqoop 1.4.1, Oozie 3.1.3 and Zookeeper 3.3.4. All of the components have been tested and certified to work together. We have also added tools that simplify the installation and configuration steps in order to improve the experience of getting started with Apache Hadoop.
I’m a member of the general public! And you probably are too! 😉
