Introducing CDH
CDH or Cloudera's Distribution Including Apache Hadoop is an enterprise-level distribu-
tion including Apache Hadoop and several components of its ecosystem such as Apache
Hive, Apache Avro, HBase, and many more. CDH is 100 percent open source. It is the
most downloaded distribution in its space. As of writing this topic, the current version of
CDH is CDH 5.0.
Some of the important features of CDH are as follows:
• All components are thoroughly tested by Cloudera, to see that they work well with
each other, making it a very stable distribution
• All enterprise needs such as security and high availability are built-in as part of the
distribution
• The distribution is very well documented making it easy for anyone interested to
get the services up and running quickly
