Interest in using Hadoop to process large data sets is growing fast. Enterprises are moving from proof of concepts to positioning Hadoop as a strategic platform, and with that comes a set of questions on how to harden it for mission-critical applications. Some companies are using Hadoop services in the cloud as a business-continuity and data-protection target for internal Hadoop clusters, while others start with data that’s already in the cloud and perform analysis on it there.
