Syncsort is considering replicating some Hive functionality, starting with joins, hopefully running much faster.(However, Syncsort is keeping its own sort technology proprietary.) Consequently, it plans to contribute technology to the community to make sort pluggable into Hadoop. Syncsort thinks different sort algorithms should be usable with Hadoop.
Pentaho announced business intelligence and ETL for Hadoop last year.In particular, this allows ETL vendors to exploit the parallel-processing capabilities of MapReduce.ETL vendors want their development tools to develop ETL processes executed via MapReduce/Hadoop. ETL vendors have development environments that let you specify/script/whatever ETL jobs.ETL vendors want to be able to extract data from or load it into HDFS. Hadoop generally stores data in HDFS (Hadoop Distributed File System).Most of what they say boils down to one or more of a few things: There have been many recent announcements about how data integration/ETL (Extract/Transform/Load) vendors are going to work with MapReduce. The bolded part of the latter quote is untrue - at least in the ordinary sense of the word “one” - but the rest can presumably be taken as company gospel.Īll this is by way of preamble to saying that Peter reached out to me about Actian’s new Vector Hadoop Edition when he blogged about it last June, and we finally talked this week. … the ParAccel, Pervasive and Vectorwise technologies are being unified under the Actian Analytics Platform brand. Specifically, the ParAccel technology … is being re-branded Actian Matrix Pervasive’s technologies are rechristened Actian DataFlow and Actian DataConnect and Vectorwise becomes Actian Vector.Īctian … is now “one company, with one voice and one platform” according to its John Santaferraro But we literally spent less than a minute talking about thatīefore I get to the substance, there’s been a lot of renaming at Actian. In other news, Peter is currently working on and optimistic about HyPer. I believe his assurances that no Actian personnel sat in on the call. Rather, he’s the professor who supervised Marcin Zukowski’s PhD thesis that became Vectorwise, and I chatted with Peter by Skype while he was at home in Amsterdam. That said, Peter Boncz isn’t exactly an Actian employee. Actian is one such they evidently made stuff up about me that Josh Berkus gullibly posted for them, and I don’t want to have conversations that could be dishonestly used against me. I have a small blacklist of companies I won’t talk with because of their particularly unethical past behavior.
