+title: Getting Started with Kudu an O'Reilly Title
+author: Brock Noland
+---
+
+The following article by Brock Noland was reposted from the
+[phData](https://www.phdata.io/getting-started-with-kudu/)
+blog with their permission.
+
+Five years ago, enabling Data Science and Advanced Analytics on the
+Hadoop platform was hard. Organizations required strong Software Engineering
+capabilities to successfully implement complex Lambda architectures or even
+simply implement continuous ingest. Updating or deleting data, were simplify
+nightmare. General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) would have been an extreme
+challenge at that time.
+
+<!-- more -->
+
+In that context, on October 11th 2012 Todd Lipcon perform Apache Kudu's initial
+commit. The commit message was:
+
+ Code for writing cfiles seems to basically work
+ Need to write code for reading cfiles, still
+
+And Kudu development was off and running. Around this same time Todd, on his
+internal Wiki page, started listing out the papers he was reading to develop
+the theoretical background for creating Kudu. I followed along, reading as many
+as I could, understanding little, because I knew Todd was up to something
+important. About a year after that initial commit, I got my
+[Kudu first commit](https://github.com/apache/kudu/commit/1d7e6864b4a31d3fe6897e4cb484dfcda6608d43),
+documenting the upper bound of a library. This is a small contribution of which I am still
+proud.
+
+In the meantime, I was lucky enough to be a founder of a Hadoop Managed Services
+and Consulting company known as [phData](http://phdata.io/). We found that a majority
+of our customers had use cases which Kudu vastly simplified. Whether it's Change Data
+Capture (CDC) from thousands of source tables to Internet of Things (IoT) ingest, Kudu
+makes life much easier as both an operator of a Hadoop cluster and a developer providing
+business value on the platform.
+
+Through this work, I was lucky enough to be a co-author of
+[Getting Started with Kudu(http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920065739.do).
+The book is a summation of mine and our co-authors, Jean-Marc Spaggiari, Mladen
+Kovacevic, and Ryan Bosshart, learnings while cutting our teeth on early versions
+of Kudu. Specifically you will learn:
+
+* Theoretical understanding of Kudu concepts in simple plain spoken words and simple diagrams
+* Why, for many use cases, using Kudu is so much easier than other ecosystem storage technologies
+* How Kudu enables Hybrid Transactional/Analytical Processing (HTAP) use cases
+* How to design IoT, Predictive Modeling, and Mixed Platform Solutions using Kudu
+* How to design Kudu Schemas
+

+
+Looking forward, I am excited to see Kudu gain additional features and adoption
+and eventually the second revision of this title. In the meantime, if you have
+feedback or questions, please reach out on the `#getting-started-kudu` channel of
+the [Kudu Slack](https://getkudu-slack.herokuapp.com/) or if you prefer non-real-time
+communication, please use the user@ mailing list!
