Datawatch adds Hadoop support

Datawatch has released Data Pump 11.6, which provides support for Hadoop and Hive, its data warehouse system.

Datawatch says that although semi-structured data such as complex reports, machine data, EDI streams, high-volume print output, text and PDF formats remain very difficult to process in Hadoop, Data Pump can now provide business analysts and those most familiar with the data the ability to take advantage of the scale offered by Hadoop’s distributed architecture. The company explains this support continues to expand its ability to deliver what is already broad data variety for big data and business intelligence solutions.

Datawatch also announced its participation in the MapR Advantage Partner Program with support for loading data directly into Hive on MapR, in addition to moving data to Hadoop via Direct Access NFS.
