Hortonworks buys better Hadoop data flow management

via

 

Hadoop vendor Hortonworks, fresh off releasing a new version of its distribution, has just acquired a company with a framework Hortonworks wants for handling how data moves into, out of, and next to Hadoop.

 

The company is Onyara, and the framework (which Onyara is a commercial supporter of) is the Apache NiFi project, a system for graphically diagramming how data can move through a system.

 

Hortonworks sees NiFi as a way to create a new data platform for Hadoop that deals with data gathered in and acted on in real time from a panoply of devices, "smart" and otherwise. Originally a product of the NSA, NiFi was open sourced under that agency's Technology Transfer Program, the same declassification effort that provided the SIMP cyber-security tool.
