Getting started with CDH
Cloudera is an organization that has been working with Hadoop and its related technologies for a few years now. It is an expert in the field of handling large amounts of data using Hadoop and various other open source tools and projects. It is one of the major contributors to several of the Apache projects. Over the years, Cloudera has deployed several clusters for hundreds of its customers. It is equipped with practical knowledge of the issues and details of real production clusters. To solve these issues, Cloudera built CDH.
In most distributed computing clusters, there are several tools that need to work together to provide the desired output. These tools are individually installed and are then configured to work well with each other. This approach often creates problems as the tools are never tested together.
Also, the setup and configuration of these tools is tedious and prone to errors. CDH solves this problem as it is packaged with thoroughly tested tools...
