The Open Data Platform initiative ( #ODPi )has announced its first Runtime Specification, and associated test suite, for #Hadoop. Aimed at creating a universal spec for the core components in a Hadoop distribution, in order to standardize, reduce fragmentation and maximize compatibility, the ODPi Runtime makes its debut today after much fanfare, going back over a year.
Derived from #Apache Hadoop 2.7, the runtime specification features #HDFS, #YARN, and #MapReduce components and is part of the common reference platform ODPi Core.
Initial controversy
When it started, the ODPi was somewhat hampered by a conspiracy theory -- that the organization was a vehicle for Hortonworks (a dominant founding member, along with Pivotal) to standardize Hadoop around its own distro, the Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP). ODP was in fact based on the core of HDP (and only one letter off from it), and even included Apache Ambariwhich, although an Apache open source project, was and is nonetheless Hortonworks' technology, and not used by Cloudera or MapR.
