Cloudera

Building loyalty with data and analytics

In 1969, my aunt graduated from university and joined IBM, the dominant player in the nascent tech industry at the time. She remained at “Big Blue” where she met and married my uncle, and rose up through the management ranks, until their joint semi-retirement exactly 30 years later. She recently told me, “the only way you could get fired in those days was to murder someone, embezzle or steal”.

The Multifaceted Value Proposition of the Cloudera Data Platform

The Cloudera Data Platform (CDP) represents a paradigm shift in modern data architecture by addressing all existing and future analytical needs. It builds on a foundation of technologies from CDH (Cloudera Data Hub) and HDP (Hortonworks Data Platform) technologies and delivers a holistic, integrated data platform from Edge to AI helping clients to accelerate complex data pipelines and democratize data assets.

Express Cloudera POV on 2021 data trends in insurance

Almost a year into the pandemic, the accelerated digital transformation has begun to feel less abrupt and more sustained. 2021 looks likely to be defined by a new phase: Thriving on digital transformation, rather than just surviving through it. We’ve written about the changes forced on the traditionally risk-averse insurance industry by COVID-19.

Cloudera DataFlow's key milestones and wins in 2020

Needless to say, 2020 was an unforgettable year in a lot of ways and we were all happy to say goodbye to it. The pandemic has ushered in new ways of how we conduct businesses, remote work cultures, telehealth, grocery/food deliveries, etc. While certain industries were hard-hit by this change, most of the businesses were able to adapt, pivot, and take on this adversity in their stride.

Using other CDP services with Cloudera Operational Database

In the previous blog post, we looked at some of the application development concepts for the Cloudera Operational Database (COD). In this blog post, we’ll see how you can use other CDP services with COD. COD is an operational database-as-a-service that brings ease of use and flexibility to Apache HBase. Cloudera Operational Database enables developers to quickly build future-proof applications that are architected to handle data evolution.

Fine-Grained Authorization with Apache Kudu and Apache Ranger

When Kudu was first introduced as a part of CDH in 2017, it didn’t support any kind of authorization so only air-gapped and non-secure use cases were satisfied. Coarse-grained authorization was added along with authentication in CDH 5.11 (Kudu 1.3.0) which made it possible to restrict access only to Apache Impala where Apache Sentry policies could be applied, enabling a lot more use cases.

A Cost-Effective Data Warehouse Solution in CDP Public Cloud - Part1

Today’s customers have a growing need for a faster end to end data ingestion to meet the expected speed of insights and overall business demand. This ‘need for speed’ drives a rethink on building a more modern data warehouse solution, one that balances speed with platform cost management, performance, and reliability.

Data Enrichment Using Cloudera Data Engineering

In this video, we'll walk through an example on how you can use Cloudera Data Engineering to pull in multiple datasets from a Hive data warehouse and go through the process of enriching the data through the use of Apache Spark. We'll then run this Spark job from within Cloudera Data Engineering so that we can follow the progress and see details about the job's execution.

Cloudera Operational Database application development concepts

Cloudera Operational Database is now available in three different form-factors in Cloudera Data Platform (CDP). If you are new to Cloudera Operational Database, see this blog post. And, check out the documentation here. In this blog post, we’ll look at both Apache HBase and Apache Phoenix concepts relevant to developing applications for Cloudera Operational Database.

Using COD and CML to build applications that predict stock data

No, not really. You probably won’t be rich unless you work really hard… As nice as it would be, you can’t really predict a stock price based on ML solely, but now I have your attention! Continuing from my previous blog post about how awesome and easy it is to develop web-based applications backed by Cloudera Operational Database (COD), I started a small project to integrate COD with another CDP cloud experience, Cloudera Machine Learning (CML).
