Enterprise data has been traditionally stored in databases such as MySQL and Oracle. With the
advent of Big Data, enterprises need to move away from database silos so that data can be shared
and analyzed seamlessly across different systems. Traditional methods for loading data into
Hadoop have relied on either full dump and load, or intermittent exports from RDBMS
environments, which is slow and time��consuming.
Continuent, a leading provider of database clustering and replication offers the Tungsten
Replicator solution that loads data into Hadoop at the same rate as the data is loaded and
modified in the source RDBMS. Tungsten Replicator is an open source replication engine for
MySQL and Oracle with high performance. Tungsten Replicator provides the cost effectiveness
and flexibility of open source but coupled with enterprise grade replication features.
Tungsten Replicator supports a variety of databases and handles failures and planned
maintenance. Tungsten works with open source technology to manage data requirements
including replication, filtering and support for complex technologies. Tungsten helps enterprises
handle terabytes of data every day using open source solutions.
Tungsten Replicator performs extraction on a MySQL server, reading the MySQL binary log
containing a list of all the change events. For Oracle, information is extracted using the Oracle
CDC mechanism, which provides a stream of the changes on chosen schemas within Oracle.
The partnership between Continuent and Hortonworks builds upon open source technology and
provides enterprises with a cost effective solution to run business critical applications. Tungsten
Replicator has been certified with the Hortonworks Data Platform.
Continuent has had many customer successes including Booking.com that is using Tungsten
Replicator to move data effectively from their MySQL environment into Hadoop to perform
analytics. This replaced a nightly Sqoop of the entire dataset with a live stream of the changes and
enabled Booking.com to speed up the delivery and supply of information to their analysts.

Data Replication for
Hadoop
Features and Benefits
Customizable Data
Materialization
Real��Time Data Loading
Low Impact Extraction and
Replication
Schema, database and table definitions are
loaded from the source and the changes
replicated from MySQL and Oracle can be
used to create carbon copy tables,
combined with previously Sqooped data,
translated into time series data or other
transformations.
Tungsten Replicator provides a
continuous stream of all the changes
from the MySQL or Oracle database and
writes into Hadoop in real��time
providing a list of changes per schema
and table.
Tungsten Replicator reads and writes
information with a very low impact on either
the source database or the Hortonworks
Data Platform. The data replicated by
Tungsten matches on the source and target.

"Our customers rely on Continuent Tungsten
Replicator to perform the real��time data
replication needed to run business��critical
applications on cost��effective open source
software. With the Hortonworks certification,
our mutual clients can apply a high��
performance, low��impact approach to
transfer data from multiple upstream systems
into Hadoop and rapidly extract useful
information from the billions of daily
transactions common in today's modern,
data��driven businesses."
