A few years before we had a Structure:Data conference dedicated to big data \u2014 and, by proxy, Hadoop \u2014 GigaOM spotted Hadoop\u2019s promise and began trying to spread the word about and advance the discussion around this groundbreaking technology. Now that Hadoop is 10 years old (give or take), we thought now would be a good time to look back on how Hadoop has influenced our events and editorial over years. This is the final installment in our four-part Hadoop anthology that has already covered its birth<\/a>, present<\/a> and future<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Think about this like Hadoop\u2019s greatest hits, but know that there will be more to come. Although the big data discussion is moving away from Hadoop somewhat, it\u2019s still an integral \u2014 if not the integral \u2014 part of the discussion around data infrastructure. We have two great panels on Hadoop at our Structure:Data conference<\/a> March 20-21 in New York (which include participants from Facebook, Platfora, Continuuity and EMC\u2019s Pivotal Initiative (whose leader Paul Maritz will also be speaking), among others) and will keep up with all things Hadoop and data for the next 10 years.<\/p>\n
