MapR is a San Jose, California-based enterprise software company that develops and sells Apache Hadoop-derived software. The company contributes to Apache Hadoop projects like HBase, Pig (programming language), Apache Hive, and Apache ZooKeeper[1]. MapR's Apache Hadoop release replaces the Namenode architecture of the standard release of Apache Hadoop, eliminating single points of failure, as well as providing snapshotting of HDFS images[2]. MapR entered a technology licensing agreement with EMC Corporation on 25 May 2011, supporting an EMC-specific distribution of Apache Hadoop[3].
MapR is privately held with funding of $9 million from Lightspeed Venture Partners and New Enterprise Associates since 2009. Key MapR executives come from Google, Lightspeed Venture Partners, and Veoh.
