Re: [HTCondor-users] Condor SOAP call help needed

[Tim St Clair <tstclair@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This is an oversimplification, but hopefully it gets the point across.

If you compare the current stable series across both packages, HTCondors primary function is as a "general purpose" cycle scavenging, compute intensive batch scheduler, where throughput is usually measured in compute years.  

Hadoop, in its current stable series, is a more specific batch scheduler whose backbone is around MapReduce and their primary metric of performance would be data throughput.  (Hence: "Big Data") There is an entire ecosystem built around the manipulation and analysis of said data.

That is probably the most notable differences, at a 50K foot view.    

Cheers,

Tim

Hello everyone, I begin to use HTCondor. But I confuse feel puzzled about the difference between HTCondor and Hadoop.

Can somebody tell me their different functions ?

Thank you very much.
