How can Hadoop take advantage of OpenStack and how can the OpenStack meet the needs of a demanding Hadoop cluster? In this session, we will briefly look at the Hadoop’s design decisions; come up with the best practices for deploying and running Hadoop on OpenStack and some of the challenges around it. We’ll also look at the ongoing work in the Hadoop and OpenStack community, and explore how we can make OpenStack a better platform for Hadoop and big data.
