Most of the companies use either Cloudera or Hortonworks as a Hadoop distribution platform. Both have been built upon Apache Hadoop. Hence both Cloudera and Hortonworks have some similarities and differences as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Similarities between Cloudera and Hortonworks<\/span><\/h4>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\" type=\"disc\">\n<li><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Both are Hadoop distributions for enterprise purposes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"EN-GB\">They are stable and secure distribution.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Cloudera and Hadoop have an active community to help and troubleshoot problems.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Both have robust training platform for professionals who want to excel as a certified Hadoop professional.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Cloudera and Hortonworks both are based on a shared-nothing architecture.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Distributions wise they are based on master-slave architecture.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Both support MapReduce and YARN.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Differences between <\/span><\/b><b><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Cloudera and Hortonworks<\/span><\/b><b><\/b><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Cloudera and Hortonworks both are based upon same Apache Hadoop. However, they have many differences. <\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Cloudera is mostly for commercial purpose, and it possesses a commercial license. On the other hand, Hortonworks owns open source licenses. Hence their business growth strategy is entirely different. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"EN-GB\">As Hortonworks distribution is open source, it is entirely free whereas Cloudera provides paid service. Though they offer a limited period free trial.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Hortonworks and Cloudera follow two different technological strategies. For example, Hortonworks uses Ambari for management instead of any proprietary software. It prefers open source tools like Stinger and Apache Solr for data handling. On the other hand, Cloudera has their own Cloudera manager.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Cloudera follows more aggressive business strategy as it follows the path of traditional software. However, Hortonworks relies on open source products that are somewhat sales oriented.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Hortonworks distribution works on the windows server as a native component. On the other hand, Cloudera CDH can run on a windows server, but it is not a native component.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.whizlabs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Cloudera-vs-Hortonworks.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-61230\" src=\"https:\/\/www.whizlabs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Cloudera-vs-Hortonworks.png\" alt=\"Cloudera or Hortonworks\" width=\"610\" height=\"290\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em><strong>Also Read: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.whizlabs.com\/blog\/cloudera-take-hadoop-to-the-next-level\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">How does Cloudera take Hadoop to the next level?<\/a><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Area2_Know_the_Apt_of_Hadoop_Distribution_in_the_Industry\"><\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Area2: Know the Apt of Hadoop Distribution in the Industry<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Both Cloudera and Hortonworks have their advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, before finalizing the distribution, organizations should measure the following factors for both the distributions. This should be measured based on short and long-term goals:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span lang=\"EN-GB\">the performance<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"EN-GB\">scalability<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"EN-GB\">manageability<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"EN-GB\">reliability<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"EN-GB\">data access<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Selecting the Hadoop distribution for business also depends on some organization specific parameters. For example:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span lang=\"EN-GB\">technical support<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"EN-GB\">expanded functionality<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"EN-GB\">system dependency <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"EN-GB\">flexibility <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"EN-GB\">cost<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Cloudera or Hortonworks both are market leaders as Hadoop distributions vendors. Both the vendors are innovative and helping to grow big data arena. Though Cloudera is the older player in this niche with its paid components, Hortonworks is also catching up fastly. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">However, it is finally the needs of an organization which is the primary decision factor in choosing Cloudera or Hortonworks for Hadoop distribution.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Preparing for Hortonworks certifications? Here is the complete preparation guide for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whizlabs.com\/blog\/hdpca-certification\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">HDPCA<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whizlabs.com\/blog\/prepare-for-hdpcd-apache-spark-certification\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">HDPCD<\/a> certifications!<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Area_3_Cloudera_or_Hortonworks_Which_One_Advances_the_Market\"><\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Area 3: Cloudera or Hortonworks Which One Advances the Market?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">It is a controversial question indeed! Considering the popularity of the market, no doubt Cloudera weighs more than Hortonworks. There are plenty of reasons which boast it to the market. Started two years before Hortonworks, its contribution to the Apache Hadoop project is truly commendable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">In addition to that, Cloudera Hadoop distribution is high profile and well accepted across the big data companies. Cloudera meets the need of enterprise applications and continuously upgrading in this area. Its recent launch Sentry is a significant step towards the data security concerns of organizations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">There is one more vital difference considering the distribution. This is related to the sub-projects of these distributions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">There is a significant difference regarding the installation and add-on tools for administration management. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Cloudera Management Suite includes<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span lang=\"EN-GB\">enterprise-level features <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"EN-GB\">automated and tool -based Hadoop deployment capabilities<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"EN-GB\">configuration management with dashboards<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"EN-GB\">capacity and expansion planning using its resource management module <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">On the other hand, Hortonworks has Ambari similar to Cloudera Management Suite. However, Ambari is not as mature as Cloudera Management suite. Furthermore, it lacks lots of advanced cluster management features.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Cloudera or Hortonworks both comes with open source Apache Hadoop. However, Cloudera comes with vendor-lock management suite which helps in faster installation and deployment process. On the other hand, Hortonworks is 100% open source. As a result, Hortonworks updates come quicker than Cloudera. <\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.whizlabs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Cloudera-or-Hortonworks.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-61380\" src=\"https:\/\/www.whizlabs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Cloudera-or-Hortonworks.png\" alt=\"Cloudera or Hortonworks\" width=\"564\" height=\"336\" \/><\/a><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Area_4_Scope_of_Hadoop_Certifications_by_Cloudera_and_Hortonworks\"><\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Area 4: Scope of Hadoop Certifications by Cloudera and Hortonworks<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Cloudera and Hortonworks both provide different levels of certifications which are altogether different regarding<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Area of expertise<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Distribution specific<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Exam pattern<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Complexity<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Cost<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Preparation<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Here are the lists of Cloudera Hadoop certifications which are well recognized in the industry.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Cloudera Hadoop Certifications<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b><span lang=\"EN-GB\">1.
