Yahoo’s former CTO talks about Hadoop

Raymie Stata has been a champion of Hadoop since its early days, helping to bring the technology into Yahoo and then drive its usage across the company. Now, Stata is co-founder and CEO of Altiscale, a startup offering Hadoop as a service to companies fed up with managing their own big data infrastructure. He came on the Structure Show podcast this week to discuss why Hadoop matters, where it’s headed, and whether it really matters where a company’s engineers cut their teeth.
