Splice Machine to Highlight Transactional Hadoop at Strata + Hadoop World

SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 18, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Splice Machine, provider of the only Hadoop RDBMS, today announced that Monte Zweben, its co-founder and CEO, will speak at the Strata + Hadoop World conference in San Jose, CA. Zweben's session, "Top Ten Pitfalls to Avoid in a SQL-on-Hadoop Implementation," will take place on Friday, February 20^th at 4:00pm and will discuss some of the latest Hadoop trends, including transactional Hadoop and its use to power real-time applications.  Splice Machine will also be exhibiting and demoing transactional Hadoop at booth 1019.

This focus on transactional Hadoop at Strata is part of a larger effort by Splice Machine to work with its Hadoop distribution partners – MapR, Hortonworks and Cloudera – to successfully expand Hadoop beyond its batch analytics heritage to power real-time, transactional apps. 

"We are excited to speak at this year's Strata + Hadoop World conference because the capabilities of the Hadoop platform are rapidly maturing – probably more than some people realize," said Monte Zweben, co-founder and CEO, Splice Machine. "Our hope is to give enterprises valuable knowledge about all of the things they can accomplish with SQL-on-Hadoop, such as powering OLTP applications, while also illustrating how to avoid the roadblocks that can stand in the way."

The rise of transactional Hadoop will be highlighted at the event by Splice Machine as well as Hortonworks, who will be discussing its efforts to add transactions to Hive 0.14 on Friday, February 20^th at 2:20pm through standard SQL insert, updated and delete commands.

At the 2013 Strata + Hadoop World, Doug Cutting, founder of Hadoop and Chief Architect at Cloudera, predicted that 'in the future, organizations will run all sorts of workloads on their Hadoop clusters, even OLTP workloads, the last bastian of the relational legacy.'

"Transactions were long thought of as something out of scope for Hadoop, but that is changing," said Doug Cutting, founder of Hadoop and Chief Architect at Cloudera. "Now, as Hadoop has come to be the de facto standard in the Big Data space, there's no reason why online transaction processing can't run on Hadoop."

Splice Machine's Hadoop RDBMS supports a high concurrency of real-time updates, and ACID transactions, as well as full ANSI SQL. This enables Splice Machine to power many of the same OLTP applications as legacy RDBMSs, but with the scale out abilities of Hadoop.

Splice Machine will be exhibiting at the Strata + Hadoop World, San Jose conference at booth 1019. To schedule a time to connect with Splice Machine, send an email to [email protected].
