Hortonworks, Inc. was a data software company based in Santa Clara, California that developed and supported open-source software (primarily around Apache Hadoop) designed to manage big data and associated processing.
Hortonworks software was used to build enterprise data services and applications such as IoT (connected cars, for example), single view of X (such as customer, risk, patient), and advanced analytics and machine learning (such as next best action and realtime cybersecurity). Hortonworks had three interoperable product lines:
- Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP): based on Apache Hadoop, Apache Hive, Apache Spark
- Hortonworks DataFlow (HDF): based on Apache NiFi, Apache Storm, Apache Kafka
- Hortonworks DataPlane services (DPS): based on Apache Atlas and Cloudbreak and a pluggable architecture into which partners such as IBM can add their services.[2]
In January 2019, Hortonworks completed its merger with Cloudera.[3]
