The Namenode today in Hadoop is a single point of failure, a scalability limitation, and a performance bottleneck.With MapR there is no dedicated NameNode. The NameNode function is distributed across the cluster. This provides major advantages in terms of HA, data loss avoidance, scalability and performance. Other distributions you have a bottleneck regardless of the number of nodes in the cluster. With other distributions the most number of files that you can support is 200M at the maximum and that is with an extremely high end server. 50% of the processing of Hadoop in Facebook is to pack and unpack files to try to work around this limitation. MapR scales uniformly.
Another major advantage with MapR is the distributed Namenode. The Namenode today in Hadoop is a single point of failure, a scalability limitation, and a performance bottleneck.With MapR there is no dedicated NameNode. The NameNode function is distributed across the cluster. This provides major advantages in terms of HA, data loss avoidance, scalability and performance. Other distributions you have a bottleneck regardless of the number of nodes in the cluster. With other distributions the most number of files that you can support is between 70-100M. 50% of the processing of Hadoop in Facebook is to pack and unpack files to try to work around this limitation. MapR scales uniformly.
This slide needs a lot of work. Can you look at layout changes?
