Many companies have created extremely powerful Hadoop use cases with highly valuable outcomes. The diverse adoption and application of Hadoop is producing an extremely robust ecosystem. However, teams often create silos around their Hadoop, forgetting some of the hard-learned lessons IT has gained over the years. Keith Manthey discusses one such often overlooked featuregovernance.

Many companies have created extremely powerful Hadoop use cases with highly valuable outcomes. The diverse adoption and application of Hadoop is producing an extremely robust ecosystem.
