What's the New York Times doing with Hadoop?
,----[ Quote ]
| Open Sources: What got you interested in Hadoop
| initially and how long have you been using Hadoop?
|
| Gottfrid: I've been working with Hadoop for the last
| three years. Back in 2007, the New York Times decided to
| make all the public domain articles from 1851-1922
| available free of charge in the form of images scanned
| from the original paper. That's 11 million articles
| available as images in PDF format. The code to generate
| the PDFs was fairly straightforward, but to get it to
| run in parallel across multiple machines was an issue.
| As I wrote about in detail back then, I came across the
| MapReduce paper from Google. That, coupled with what I
| had learned about Hadoop, got me started on the road to
| tackle this huge data challenge.

Q&A: Visa dips a toe into the Hadoop pool
,----[ Quote ]
| Hadoop effectively gives enterprises the power of Google

| CloudEra subscription if you want to involve Hadoop's core
| developers in your rollout. Credit card giant Visa is an
| early corporate adopter of Hadoop, and points to a bright
| future for the open-source project.
