Google | September 23, 2015
It’s a new day, and Google has a new cloud service for storing and processing big data. Google Cloud Dataproc, which is being launched in beta today, is a managed service for running Hadoop and Spark. Independent startups like Qubole, Altiscale, and Xplenty offer commercial software for running open-source Hadoop on top of public clouds, but now there’s an option that’s native to the Google Cloud Platform.
