[dba-Tech] Hortonworks: Hadoop, Windows, ODBC, and Azure

Hi Gustav:

Just another note. To the best of my knowledge, most DB databases default their results to JSON objects. If your FE can translate that standard you should be good to go.

Hi all

 

If you (like me) refrain from messing around with Linux or Solaris servers
but would like to check out a Big Data database like Hadoop, Hortonworks
offers a free Windows implementation:

They even offer downloads of virtual machines for developing purposes and an
ODBC-driver and a guide for using Excel to access such data:

p-data/

 

Also, a lot of other guides and tutorials are offered.

 

Further, if you wish to run Hadoop hosted on Azure, it seems quite easy to
do:

Everything is open-source.
