MapR is a commercial data platform that offers a HDFS compatible distributed file system, a database that allows to store data in BigTable or JSON and a streaming platform for messaging. MapR leverages APIs from open source tools such as Hadoop, Kafka, HBase and provides a proprietary implementation written in C optimised for improved performance.

MapR is a complete enterprise-grade distribution for Apache Hadoop. The MapR Converged Data Platform has been engineered to improve Hadoop’s reliability, performance, and ease of use.

The MapR distribution provides a full Hadoop stack that includes the MapR File System (MapR-FS), the MapR-DB NoSQL database management system, MapR Streams, the MapR Control System (MCS) user interface, and a full family of Hadoop ecosystem projects. You can use MapR with Apache Hadoop, HDFS, and MapReduce APIs.

MapR supports the Hadoop 2.x architecture and YARN (Yet Another Resource Negotiator). Hadoop 2.x and YARN make up a resource management and scheduling framework that distributes resource management and job management duties.
