The customer had embarked on a multiyear initiative focused on moving their Big Data platform from Cloudera Hadoop On-Prem instance to Cloudera Data Platform (CDP) on Azure. As a first step, they wanted to explore the prioritized MapReduce jobs in the current state and consider migration to Spark before moving the workloads to Azure Cloud.
They had initially created a solution with Hadoop Map Reduce engine and Hive Queries (HQL). The current setup had the following challenges:
- Slower code execution speed
- Higher storage requirement
- Difficult to maintain workflows
- The newer solution they envisioned should address all issues mentioned above and wanted a revamped approach to processing Big Data. They were looking for a partner that could support them in converting identified MapReduce Jobs to Spark as they wanted to reduce the execution and processing time of Jobs as it was impacting their business performance.
- Eventually, it will enable them to move their Big Data platform from Cloudera Hadoop On-Prem instance to Cloudera Data Platform (CDP) on Azure.
