theCUBE Live at Hadoop World 2014
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.
