As it is, says Cloudera CEO Mike Olson, the Hadoop<\/a> analytics platform has some significant limitations involving speed and complexity. However, industry leaders – including those at his own firm – are working to change that, confident that this research tool will evolve in fundamental ways in the coming years.<\/p>\n

At last year\u2019s Strata Conference, Olson asked an audience to imagine how, if it were created today, Hadoop would be designed differently, positing that some specific changes could open new gateways to research in fields like education, energy and agriculture. Citing cosmologist and scientific author Carl Sagan, Olson stressed the importance of breaking down high-level data for a greater audience.<\/p>\n

"I think we are poised on the edge of major discoveries that matter for business and for society," Olson said. <\/p>\n
