We are very pleased to announce the Alpha 2 release of the Hortonworks Data Platform 2.0 (HDP 2.0 Alpha2) is now available for download!
A key focus in HDP 2.0 Alpha 2 is on performance as announced in the Stinger initiative, and includes a series of enhancements to the performance of Apache Hive for interactive SQL queries. In fact HDP 2.0 Alpha 2 was used to perform the tests announced yesterday, showing a 45X performance increase using Hive. There is much more to come but we are pleased with the early results, and encourage Hive users to take a look and continue to give us feedback.
Consistent with HDP 2.0 Alpha 1, this version is built from the developmental Apache Hadoop 2.0 line and includes Apache YARN, a next-generation resource-management and application framework that enables Hadoop to support an ever-expanding range of use cases. We are extremely excited about the opportunities that YARN enables – for background, check out Arun Murthy’s blog post series where he provides a YARN overview.
Notable new components over Alpha 1 include:
Note that Tez is not enabled by default. Instructions for doing so, and allowing Hive to use Tez, are in the installation guide.

During the installation of HDP, I am prompted for a sandox login/password. Is there a default logon?
