If you’re looking for controversy in the #Apache #Hadoop community, you need look no further than the 2015 launch of the Open Data Platform Initiative ( #ODPi ), which some perceived as an attempt to wrest control of Apache Hadoop from its open source roots. In fact, some Apache Software Foundation ( #ASF ) leaders see potential good coming out of the ODPi, although there are valid concerns about negatives too.
Jim Jagielski, a founding member of the ASF and a member of its board of directors, shared his views on the ODPi during a candid Q&A session with the ODPi’s director of program management, John Mertic, at the recent Apache Big Data conference in Vancouver, British Columbia. Jagielski says ODPi has the potential to be both beneficial and detrimental to the overall Apache Hadoop and big data ecosystem.
On the plus side, Jagielski said that the ODPi’s goal to simplify the adoption of Hadoop and related projects by creating a single consistent specification that vendors in the ecosystem can write to is, on balance, a good thing.
