For nearly a decade, Hadoop was the poster child for “big data.” It was new, it was open source, it launched an entire market of products and vendors, and it was inspired by — and in many cases, was — the technology behind the world’s largest websites.
However, looking back with 20/20 hindsight, it seems clear that Hadoop was never going to live up to its lofty expectations.
Hadoop opened people’s eyes to what was possible with big data, but it’s also a reminder that no single technology is going to remake the world of enterprise IT— at least not anymore.
