"Read how the HPCC Platform compares to Hadoop"<p><a href="http://hpccsystems.com/Why-HPCC/HPCC-vs-Hadoop" rel="nofollow">http://hpccsystems.com/Why-HPCC/HPCC-vs-Hadoop</a><p>"on the same hardware configuration showed that HPCC was 3.95 times faster than Hadoop for this benchmark."<p>Though I am cautious, these things always take time to hash out what's really what (especially when the competitor is the one running the benchmark).

Interesting that they are choosing to release the community edition under the Affero GPL3. (They also mention a "contributory agreement" which probably means a copyright assignment.)<p><a href="https://hpccsystems.com/faq/licensing" rel="nofollow">https://hpccsystems.com/faq/licensing</a>

Just had a quick look and it seems that to use HPCC you will have to learn some new syntax (not sure though). Hadoop is based on java and most developers know it well. This could be a problem with widespread adoption of HPCC.<p>Would like to know your view :)
