????Hortonworks聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人阿蘭?默西

????阿蘭?默西最早在雅虎公司（Yahoo）工作，現(xiàn)在已然用途極廣的開源存儲和處理軟件Hadoop在那時尚處于早期原型階段。默西的團隊的任務(wù)就是擴展Hadoop的功能，讓它用于雅虎的網(wǎng)頁搜索。于是默西研發(fā)了一個名叫YARN的資源負載管理系統(tǒng)，它的作用大致相當于Hadoop的一個操作系統(tǒng)。默西表示：“第一版的Hadoop看起來就像還在用Notepad的Windows，但是我們真正想要的是能用Powerpoint、Word和Excel的Windows?！边@正是YARN的魅力所在：它允許用戶向Hadoop中插入多種應用以存儲各類信息。默西表示：“我家里有兩個孩子，但YARN就像是我的第三個孩子。”——Robert Hackett

????Arun Murthy, Co-founder, Hortonworks

????Arun Murthy started off at Yahoo when Hadoop, the open-source storage and processing software that powers much of the web’s big data, was an early prototype. His team’s mission was to scale it for Yahoo’s web search. Murthy helped develop a resource and workload management system called YARN that acts as a sort of operating system for Hadoop. “Hadoop ‘One’ looked like Microsoft Windows with notepad,” Murthy says. “What you really want is Windows with PowerPoint, Word, Excel and so on.” That’s what YARN enabled: It let users plug many applications into Hadoop to store all sorts of data. “I have two kids at home,” Murthy says. “YARN is sort of my third.” —Robert Hackett
