Happy 2015 (Hadoop and Real-time)
YARN is the architectural center of Hadoop that allows multiple data processing engines such as interactive SQL, real-time streaming, data science and batch processing to handle data stored in a single platform, unlocking an entirely new approach to analytics. It is the foundation of the new generation of Hadoop and is enabling organizations everywhere to realize a modern data architecture
There is high demand of the real-time data access. Less waiting means more productivity. Kafka and Storm makes good marriage when it comes to the technology stack.
