Now Hadoop Administrators can enjoy Google’s Dataproc!

It is definitely not an easy task to generate insights out of big data. However, Google is determined to change that with its new, managed feature for Apache Hadoop and Apache Spark. In a recent event, Google declared that it would unleash Cloud Dataproc tool which can offer a Spark or Hadoop cluster in  less than 90 seconds. Also, this enabled minute by minute billing facilities effectively.

Cloud Dataproc, the search giant expected to launch the open beta is a new piece of excellence in its big data portfolio which is designed to support companies to create clusters in a short period of time and manage those clusters easily and also, turn them off when they are not in need.

Enterprises often go through a struggle to get the most out of evolving big data technology at rapid rate, said Holger Mueller, a vice president and principal analyst with Constellation Research.

"It"s often not easy for the average enterprise to install and operate," he said. When two open source products need to be combined, "things can get even more complex."

Implementing and operating Hadoop and Spark clusters couldn"t be made much easier with significant value for enterprises, he added. For Google, this Cloud Dataproc will ultimately give lot more responsibility, utility and customers range, and create better scale in economies, Mueller said.

Also, Cloud Dataproc is offering several advantages than the traditional, on-premises cluster products and competing cloud storage services, said 'Google'

To create Apache Spark and Apache Hadoop clusters on-premises or with the help of Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) platform provider can end up anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes, for example, Cloud Dataproc clusters would take ninety seconds or less than that on average to begin, and the range of time is taken to scale or to shut down. This, in turn, means the users have a lot more time to utilize in working with their data.

"When you do self-managed deployment, either on-premises or in the cloud, you"re effectively paying in your own time for your clusters," said Greg DeMichillie, director of product management for the Google Cloud Platform. "What Cloud Dataproc allows you to do is shorten the window of time between when you ask a question and when you get insight."

A typical Cloud Dataproc clusters would include several pre-emptible instances that have lower computing prices which price at 1 cent for every virtual processing units in the cluster for every hour. While many other providers would take nearly an hour, this revolutionary tool will use minute-by-minute billing feature.

Cloud Dataproc tool also offers various built-in integrations with the Google Cloud Platform services such as Cloud Storage, BigQuery, Cloud Bigtable, Cloud Monitoring and Cloud Logging. Various companies could use this tool to extract, transform and load terabytes (like that of ETL tools) of raw log data straight into the BigQuery for business reporting, for example.

Because of the fact that this service is a managed service, companies can now use Apache Spark and Apache Hadoop clusters without the need or assistance of the data administrator or any special software product, Google said. Rather than interacting with clusters and Apache Spark or Hadoop jobs in the Google Developers Console, the all new Google Cloud SDK tool or the Cloud Dataproc REST API (Application Programming Interface); when they"re done with a cluster, they can turn it off and avoid spending money needlessly.

The current implementation of Cloud Dataproc features clusters based on Spark 1.5 and Hadoop 2.7.1.
