Hortonworks CEO confirms co-founder and CTO’s departure — Tech News and Analysis

Interesting times in the Hadoop vendor market
"Hortonworks CEO Rob Bearden has confirmed that co-founder and CTO Eric Baldeschwieler has left the company. No word as to why, but his departure is the latest event in a busy few months at Hortonworks [...]
One thing that’s certain, however, is that the Hadoop space has become hyper-competitive in the past couple years and personnel changes aren’t unheard of. Cloudera, Hortonworks’ primary competitor in providing Hadoop and services, has been without one of its co-founders — Christophe Biscliglia, who’s now co-founder and CEO of WibiData — since 2010. In June, Cloudera replaced co-founder and CEO Mike Olson with former Arcsight CEO Tom Reilly. Olson is now chief strategy officer."
