You know what’s even better than using Hadoop?

Using Apache Hadoop!

Even better is using Apache Ambari™ to manage your Apache Cassandra™ data store through Apache Hive™ with Apache Pig™ to make it simpler to write Apache Spark™ compute flows with your Apache Hadoop® database…

Or, if you want it assembled for you, just grab the latest Apache BigTop™ release, which already includes a bunch of Apache Hadoop® related projects all together in a fully assembled DEB/RPM/YUM!

Thanks for calling it Apache Hadoop!

The ASF and Apache projects give away a tremendous amount of technology every day under our permissive Apache license – always for free.

All we ask is respect for our trademarks, and a little bit of credit for the many volunteer communities that build Apache software.

You Can Help Hadoop!

How can we do a better job of getting at least a single “Apache Hadoop” into some of the many media stories about Hadoop these days?

It’s great that all these vendors are making great technology and projects that power big data, but with all their success and fancy marketing campaigns, you’d think we could get just a tiny bit of credit in the popular press with the actual committers on the core Apache Hadoop project itself.

Or any of the other Apache project technologies that these vendors, other software companies – and just about every other company too – rely on every day to help make their websites work.

How to Use Apache Hadoop

Read the Apache Project Branding Guide for best practices on how often to say "Apache Hadoop" before you switch to "Hadoop". It depends on the context, but if you use Apache Hadoop in both the first, and most prominent places on any one page, you'll be doing well!
