Introduction to Parallel Computing Part 1c - Major Hadoop Distributions and their differences

In my previous article, we saw a few basics on how to install hadoop.

Honestly the process is rather tedious and time-consuming. That's one of the reasons that a big number of companies out there prefer using an out-of-the-box solution rather than going the manual way.

The top 3 hadoop distributions are Cloudera, HortonWorks and MapR. Hortonworks provides an open-source and completely free distro, while the other two provide free as well as paid versions of their product.

Here are their differences and features:
