Hadoop release op-dimensional weapon: vsphere Big Data Extensions

Vsphere Big Data Extensions (BDE) offers great flexibility in deploying a variety of vendor distributions for Hadoop, offering three values to customers:

Provides tuned infrastructure for supported versions of Hadoop that are certified by VMware and Hadoop release vendors

Deploy, run, and manage heterogeneous Hadoop clusters on a unified virtualization platform to meet the diverse needs of multiple tenants

Protect return on investment without being bound by a single Hadoop distribution vendor

Managing the Hadoop release

Apache Hadoop 1.2 is a native hadoop,bde of the open source community that already contains an installation package for Apache Hadoop, which allows users to directly create Hadoop clusters based on the Apache Hadoop version without additional downloads and configuration.

The Serengeti CLI provides a command line to see which Hadoop distributions are currently supported:
