Hey Hadoop Fans, It's been a crazy week here at Cloudera. Today we launched our Distribution for Hadoop. This is targeted at Hadoop users who want to use the most recent stable version of Hadoop and take advantage of standard packaging and deployment tools like RPMs and YUM. We also provide an AJAXy wizard to help you configure your cluster. We'll include more options for deployment (.debs, solaris packages, etc) as you ask for them, so please don't be shy - hit up our community support page.
The high level features for our first release include: * RPM Deployment and a public YUM repository * Client RPMs for Hive and Pig (what else should we include? Tell us on community support! Link below.) * Standard Linux Service Management * Local Documentation and Man Pages We'll be going over some details and walk through deployment at the Bay Area Hadoop Users Group at Y! this Wednesday, but if you're from out of town, or want a head start, here are some links: * Blog post announcement: http://www.cloudera.com/blog/2009/03/15/cloudera-distribution-for-hadoop/ * Cloudera's Distribution for Hadoop Home Page: http://www.cloudera.com/hadoop * Community Support: http://www.cloudera.com/community-support Also, we turning into twitter junkies, so if you've been infected too, follow @cloudera for updates. See you Wednesday! Cheers, Christophe
