The Kite Software Development Kit (Apache License, Version 2.0), or Kite for short, is a set of libraries, tools, examples, and documentation focused on making it easier to build systems on top of the Hadoop ecosystem.
- Codifies expert patterns and practices for building data-oriented systems and applications
- Lets developers focus on business logic, not plumbing or infrastructure
- Provides smart defaults for platform choices
- Supports gradual adoption via loosely-coupled modules
Version 0.12.0 was released March 10, 2014.
Do note that unlike some “pattern languages,” these are legitimate patterns are based on expert patterns and practices. (There are “patterns” produced like Uncle Bilius (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Chapter Eight) after downing a bottle of firewhiskey. You should avoid such patterns.)
