Cloudera 6 released - when will we have it on BDCS/BDCC & BDA
Summary
Quick update on Cloudera 6 on BDCS and BDA as well as BDCCContent
With the release of C6 on August 30th, we are now working towards releasing this on the Oracle Big Data stack (cloud and on-premises).
We did want to ensure that we communicate some of the important functionality bits and when what would arrive, purely based on the Cloudera schedule:
(1) The current 6.0 version does not really support Erasure Coding yet. This is because, while the HDFS service supports it, the query engines are not yet running on Erasure Coding. Consequently, you will only be able to do some testing with Erasure coding in terms of cold storage or experimenting with the sizes and reduction in sizes you could achieve. Erasure coding will arrive fully in C6.1.
