According to the press release, the new product functionality, available in VoltDB Enterprise Edition, allows organizations to selectively stream high velocity data from a VoltDB cluster into Hadoop's native HDFS file system.

Further, Hadoop's native HDFS file system leverages Cloudera's Distribution including Apache Hadoop (CDH), which has SQL-to-Hadoop integration technology, Apache Sqoop, built in.

"Big Data applications come with a complex combination of operational and analytical challenges," said VoltDB CEO Scott Jarr.

"In response, many organizations are evolving rapidly toward specialized database engines that must function in a co-ordinated way. Recognizing this need, VoltDB and Cloudera are working co-operatively to deliver high-powered product integrations that are easy to use, fast to deploy, and reliable to operate in production," added Jarr.

Volume, Velocity and Variety

The volume, velocity and variety of data are exploding, fueled by social applications, sensor automation, mobile networking, and other data intensive forces. Organizations are increasingly turning to specialized, task-specific data management solutions.

"The term 'big data' is being applied to a diverse set of data storage and processing problems related to the growing volume, variety and velocity of data and the desire of organizations to store and process data sets in their totality," said Matt Aslett, senior analyst, enterprise software, The 451 Group.

"Choosing the right tool for the job is crucial: high velocity data requires an engine that offers fast throughput and real-time visibility; high volume data requires a platform that can expose insights in massive data sets," he added.

Commercial-grade Integration

VoltDB Integration for Hadoop is designed specifically to handle the widest variety of customer deployment scenarios including end-user applications, site-based OEM installations and Cloud-based deployments.

It combines VoltDB's enterprise-grade export environment with Apache Sqoop, a Cloudera-sponsored solution for integrating relational databases with Hadoop infrastructures.
