LIVE: Cloudera Search Tries to be Google Search for Hadoop & Big Data

On today’s SiliconANGLE Live NewsDesk Show, (see live feed below or visit youtube.com/siliconangle to watch on-demand), we discuss how Cloudera is attempting to build a ‘Google search’ for Big Data.

Hadoop is an open clone spawn of the Google and its collection of tools, but in the Big Data market, the open framework works across large clusters of servers. The problem is Hadoop doesn’t have a ‘Google search’ and is extremely hard to navigate. Cloudera, a company that helps companies build and use Hadoop, is aiming to change that. Cloudera is now offering a Google-style search engine for Hadoop. It’s called Cloudera Search.

Cloudera Search can integrate with the Hadoop Distributed File System or with Hbase — and users can type what they’re looking for and get a list of results the same as Google search.

Joining us now to tell us more about Cloudera Search is Abhishek Mehta Founder of Tresata. (See the live broadcast, embed below ~ if you missed today’s topic, check our YouTube channel for archived clips.)

Some of the things we’ll be discussing with Mehta include the current market of solutions for Big Data search, whether or not Cloudera’s new offering has any distinguishing characteristics, the opportunities for search within the Big Data ecosystem, and other noteworthy Hadoop-related developments contributing to this market.
