Hadoop

Hadoop is the most wide deployed open source software for cloud computing. It is available from hadoop.apache.org/core.

Hadoop is deployed on all the nodes of the Open Cloud Testbed.

The Open Cloud Consortium has no affiliation or association with Hadoop.

Thrift

Thrift is a software framework for scalable cross-language services development. It integrates a software stack with a code generation engine to build services that work efficiently between C++, Java, Python, PHP, and Ruby. Thrift was developed at Facebook, and is available as open source at developers.facebook.com/thrift/.

Thrift is expected to be available shortly on the Open Cloud Testbed and will used to interoperate different cloud middleware and to simplify the development and deployment of cloud applications.

The Open Cloud Consortium has no affiliation or association with Thrift.

Sector

The Open Cloud Consortium (OCC) is supporting the development of Sector, an open source stack for cloud computing. Sector is available on all the nodes of the Open Cloud Testbed.

In benchmarks using Terasort, Sector is about twice as fast as Hadoop. A paper describing these results will be presented at the upcoming KDD 08 conference. The paper is also available from the Sector web site sector.sf.net.

Sector is designed to operate over wide area clouds. Sector is built using UDT, which is a network transport protocol designed for wide area high performance networks.

Sector is open source and available from Source Forge at the web site: sector.sf.net
