Hortonworks and Couchbase have announced a strategic partnership to streamline the flow of operational big data between NoSQL databases and Hadoop. This partnership enables enterprises to export and stream data from Couchbase Server to HDP, and vice-versa, using the database change protocol (DCP) and other tools such as Sqoop, Kafka, and Storm. The key to unlocking the value of operational big data is making these systems work together efficiently, allowing for real-time analytics and processing, and enabling enterprises to export and stream data with multiple tasks in parallel. This partnership will be showcased at Strata+Hadoop World, where Couchbase will present on using Kafka to enable the big data pipeline.
