Hadoop specialist Hortonworks today announced that the newest version of its Hadoop distribution, Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP) 2.2, will become generally available in November.

Jim Walker, director of product marketing for Hortonworks, says the release incorporates the last six months of innovation in the Apache Hadoop community, including more than 100 new features from Apache Hadoop and its related projects.

Walker notes that Hortonworks strives to expand its distribution both horizontally and vertically. Vertically, Hortonworks is integrating the projects within its Hadoop distribution with YARN and HDFS to allow it to span workloads, whether batch, interactive or real-time. He notes that deep integration of both Apache Storm and Apache Spark in HDP 2.2 represents this approach.
