History of Hadoop - Here's some of the history of Hadoop: Hadoop was created by Doug Cutting, who named it after his son's toy elephant. It was originally developed to support distribution for the Nutch search engine project. In December 2004, Google Labs published a paper on the MapReduce algorithm, which allows very large scale computations to be trivially parallelized across large clusters of servers. Cutting, realizing the importance of this paper to extending Lucene into the realm of extremely large (web-scale) search problems, created the open-source Hadoop framework that allows applications based on the MapReduce paradigm to be run on large clusters of commodity hardware. Cutting was an employee of Yahoo!, where he led the Hadoop project full-time; he has since moved on to Cloudera...

How Ad Hoc Analysis Coexists With OLAP Tools - Considered a common practice in business intelligence, ad hoc analysis provides users with answers to specific questions that haven't been touched upon or discovered. It is advantageous in the enterprise reporting environment as it allows users to explore reports more in depth while being cost efficient and effective. Because an initial static report can be vague and miss details, ad hoc analysis may be used to drill deeper into those static reports to get data that hasn't been brought to the table. Additionally, the process of doing an ad hoc analysis can be to create reports that don't already exist, getting details about accounts, transactions, or records from it. The result of an ad hoc analysis can consist of statistical models, analytic reports, or other types of data summary...

How To Create Parametrized Reports - While simple replets such as the one in the previous example are very useful, the replet API enables the building of much more powerful and flexible replets. An important concept is that of parameterized reports. Parameterized reports allow the replet to collect user input before or after report creation. It is up to the replet to use the parameter values to customize the final report. There are multiple entry points for parameters to be passed to a replet: replet creation time, replet initialization, user-initiated customization, replet-initiated parameter prompting, etc. We cover the first two types of parameter passing in this chapter. The last two forms of parameterization are covered in subsequent chapters...
