Hadoop has come a long way from its humble orgins as Yahoo’s answer to its search engine woes, evolving into a data management platform that’s used by one in four enterprises.

Named after an elephant toy that belonged to its inventor’s child, the open source Hadoop framework has evolved into a software market that International Data Corp. reckons will be worth $813 million in 2016. It’s also the main driving force behind a Big Data market that Wikibon predicts will be worth some $50.1 billion by 2017.

This infographic from Solix Technologies Inc. provides a few insights on Hadoop’s history and direction.  The Current State of Hadoop mirrors some of SiliconANGLE’s own research on Hadoop adoption. Only one in four large enterprises has deployed Hadoop, but that’s up from one in ten just two years ago. Finance, retail, business services, computer manufacturing and government agencies are the biggest adopters. Cost is the biggest adoption driver.
