Are you ready to go from “Zero to Big Data in 15 Minutes”?

The Sandbox is personal implementation of the enterprise-ready Hortonworks Data Platform providing demos, videos and step-by-step hands-on tutorials to provide the fastest onramp to Apache Hadoop™. The Sandbox removes the complexity of installing and administering Hadoop to allow anyone to learn and explore the power of Hadoop.

Getting Started

  1. To try the Hortonworks Sandbox you must first download install Oracle VirtualBox or VMware Fusion or Workstation.
  2. Download the version of Hortonworks Sandbox for your virtualization environment:

Known Issues:

The Hortonworks Sandbox is built on the Hortonworks Data Platform 1.2. However, excluded from this are:

  1. Third party tools and downloads (like Talend)
  2. Data sets uncompressed by Safari from .gz extension to .tsv extensions may not fully import. To solve this issue, using Safari on a Mac, please ensure that the following configuration is set in Preferences: General->uncheck “Open “safe” files after downloading”.

Look here for Release notes and Documentation for the Hortonworks Data Platform 1.2.
