You can manage all services from one place in an integrated manner

We switched to Airflow because Cloudera is outdated. It's not widely used. It would be good if we had the Spark 3.5. Spark is quite old. Cloudera is now offering an alternate solution as a replacement for AWS. AWS works badly with small files. The solution is not fit for on-premise distributions. It should be containerized so we can deploy it as containers within Kubernetes. We had one upgrade from CDH to CDP, which lasted for a long time. And I would expect with containerized deployment, it would be upgraded much more quickly than we had the experience.

Overview

Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop is the world's most complete, tested, and popular distribution of Apache Hadoop and related projects. CDH is 100% Apache-licensed open source and is the only Hadoop solution to offer unified batch processing, interactive SQL, and interactive search, and role-based access controls. More enterprises have downloaded CDH than all other such distributions combined.

The Oracle NoSQL Database (ONDB) provides network-accessible multiterabyte distributed key/value pair storage with predictable latency. Data is stored in a very flexible key-value format, where the key consists of the combination of a major and minor key (represented as a string) and an associated value (represented as a JSON data format or opaque set of bytes). It offers full Create, Read, Update and Delete (CRUD) operations, with adjustable durability and consistency guarantees. It also provides powerful and flexible transactional model that eases the application development.

The Oracle NoSQL Database is designed to be a highly available and extremely scalable system, with predictable levels of throughput and latency, while requiring minimal administrative interaction.
