The Origins of Hadoop
Doug Cutting of Cloudera joins SiliconAngle’s John Furrier and Wikibon’s Dave Vellante at Hadoop World 2010. Doug brought with him Hadoop, his son’s elephant doll and the inspiration for the Hadoop name, and he talks about the humble beginnings of spreading data on multiple machines.
“We weren’t going to get it running on thousand of machines without a lot of work. It’s a tricky kind of programming to do… I had the name sitting in my pocket from when my son named this thing [yellow elephant]. I thought, ‘That’s a good project name. It’s a short word…and I also liked that there was an obvious mascot."
