“In production” is a phrase often used by enterprise data center administrators to delineate applications and system that are used to support an organization’s day-to-day operations from those in a status that is something else—in test for example. And reaching production status is now increasingly important for the leading commercial Hadoop distribution vendors (Cloudera, Hortonworks, MapR,) and others who seek opportunity in the Hadoop ecosystem. The reason for sensitivity to this issue is simple. If an enterprise can’t transform its interest in Hadoop from shiny new toy to at least mission-sensitive if not mission-critical, then why bother playing with it any longer.
