Getting started with CDH
Cloudera is an organization that has been working with Hadoop and its related technologies
for a few years now. It is an expert in the field of handling large amounts of data using Ha-
doop and various other open source tools and projects. It is one of the major contributors to
several of the Apache projects. Over the years, Cloudera has deployed several clusters for
hundreds of its customers. It is equipped with practical knowledge of the issues and details
of real production clusters. To solve these issues, Cloudera built CDH.
In most distributed computing clusters, there are several tools that need to work together to
provide the desired output. These tools are individually installed and are then configured to
work well with each other. This approach often creates problems as the tools are never
tested together.
Also, the setup and configuration of these tools is tedious and prone to errors. CDH solves
this problem as it is packaged with thoroughly tested tools that work well together in a
single powerful distribution. Installation and configuration of the various tools and com-
ponents is more organized with CDH.
CDH has everything an enterprise needs for its big data projects. The components pack-
aged into CDH provide tools for storage as well as the computation of large volumes of
data. By using CDH, an enterprise is guaranteed to have good support from the community
for its Hadoop deployment.
