Forrester Advice on Hadoop: Best Practices for Early Adopters
Oct 24th
Hadoop seems to be on everyone’s minds this year. It’s certainly a hot topic for Forrester’s James Kobielus, who’s recently released several reports on Hadoop – including a best practices guide aimed at enterprises.
Hadoop is still pretty young, so Kobielus first starts with a couple of challenges facing early adopters. The big challenges, according to Kobielus? An immature market, evolving core specifications, a need for custom coding and a lack of a widely adopted “stack” for Hadoop.
Sponsor
Does this sound at all familiar? If you followed the early days of Linux, you should be feeling a bit of Déjà vu here, because this was exactly the sort of thing analysts were saying around 1999 to 2002 (give or take) about Linux. It’s not wrong, per se, but it shouldn’t stand in the way of adoption.
Best Practices
That said, Kobielus does have some good advice for best practices when adopting Hadoop. For example, Kobielus says that companies need to build staff skills – even a “center of excellence” that has training with MapReduce and connections to the Hadoop community.
He also waves companies away from “science projects” with Hadoop, or adoption that lacks business value. In short – don’t jump on the Hadoop bandwagon just because it’s the Next Big Thing.
Another recommendation from Kobielus that companies should heed is to avoid “overbuilding” the Hadoop cluster if a smaller cluster does the job. And make sure that you can combine Hadoop “silos” at a later date. Says Kobielus, “most of these companies’ Hadoop clusters implement a common stack of Hadoop subprojects, from the storage layer on up. This architectural approach facilitates subsequent convergence of silos as well as easy promotion of MapReduce and other jobs between the silos. Yahoo, in particular, has architected its Hadoop clusters to minimize the interoperability glitches that might result from silos.”
And if you don’t have the in-house expertise, Kobielus guides companies towards cloud/Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) providers like Amazon and Appistry. If you want in-house control, but lack expertise, there’s also a slew of commercial options – but you’ll need to do plenty of research before settling on one.
No doubt, quite a few ReadWriteEnterprise readers have had some hands-on experience with Hadoop in production already. I’d be curious what best practices you have to share.

25 Million People Are Using iOS 5, Despite Early Hiccups
Oct 17th
Apple proudly touted its latest iPhone 4S sales numbers this morning, having succeeded in selling more than 4 million of the devices over the weekend. Alongisde that announcement comes the news that more than 25 million iOS device owners are now using iOS 5.
The latest version of Apple’s mobile operating system went live last week, five months after being unveiled by Steve Jobs at the World Wide Developer’s Conference. The new operating system seems to be having a strong first week, despite issues experienced by many users when the software was first made available last Wednesday.

The initial demand for iOS 5 put a serious strain on Apple’s activation servers and interrupted the upgrading process for many users. Things got so bad at one point that the phrase “3200 error” was trending on Twitter. The issues were mostly cleared up by Thursday morning.
iPhone 4S Helps Drive iOS 5, But That’s Just a Minority of Installs
Despite a lukewarm initial response to its launch, the iPhone 4S has shattered the company’s sales records, first by exceeding 1 million devices sold in its first day of pre-sale availability, and then this weekend by more than doubling the iPhone 4′s first weekend sales, according to Apple.
While iPhone 4S owners comprised a few million of these iOS 5 users, the vast majority are owners of other devices who have eagerly made the upgrade themselves. This includes all iPads, iPhone 4 and 3GS owners, as well as third and fourth generation versions of the iPod Touch.
iOS 5 is one of the most substantial upgrades Apple has pushed out for its mobile operating system. In addition to wireless syncing of apps and content across devices, the new version of the OS features a radically overhauled user notification system, deep Twitter integration, a digital newsstand and about 200 other features.
One feature that doesn’t come with iOS 5 on non-iPhone 4S devices is perhaps the new iPhone’s most talked-about feature: Siri, the voice-controlled “digital personal assistant” that retrieves data and performs actions based on the user’s vocal commands. One developer has claimed to port Siri to the iPhone 4, but it’s not clear how effective that hack is.
