Kognitio has released version 8.2.1 for Hadoop and MapR. This version is easier to install on Hadoop and MapR and some of its key features include:

• Reduced software dependencies
  Kognitio on Hadoop now only requires nodes to have Perl and some basic 64-bit system library tools like bash, openssl libraries, etc.
• Reduced system preparation requirements
  Most users can now run Kognitio on unmodified Hadoop clusters via Yarn
• Automatic system management
  Kognitio will now recover automatically from a wide range of failure scenarios such as Yarn container failures, node failures and software problems. Kognitio will create new containers automatically when required and will automatically restore the system to a functional state after problems occur.
• Connector improvements
  Kognitio’s connectors have been upgraded to support running on Azure HDInsight.
