Hadoop Top 20 Influencers for 2015
By Tom Howells, Staff Writer, Fraud & Technology Wire In our 2015 predictions, published at the end of 2014, we suggested that 2015 would be the year of native Hadoop applications. This has proven to be the case. The validity of this prediction was confirmed by the focus around Hadoop applications at the Strata conferences this year and in multiple other forums and publications. In light of the growing focus on Hadoop, we have compiled a list of the top 20 most influential individuals around the space.
To create this list we used the Twitter applications LittleBird and Right Relevance. Both applications have a formula to calculate the most influential Twitter handles around particular topics. We combined these two rankings, awarding 20 points for being the most influential on a platform, to give each influencer a score out of 40. Tie breakers were awarded to the individual with the most followers.
Cloudera in particular has a very strong presence in the rankings, employing four of the top five individual contributors and over a quarter of the 20 most active authors.
The Hadoop Top 20 Influencers for 2015 are:

LittleBird offers a feature which shows all of the other influencers to whom a particular expert is connected. It also divides them into communities. Below is an illustration of the biggest community, which provides a graphical representation of the large proportion of people connected to Cloudera.
In our predictions for 2016, we wrote that packaged machine learning applications built natively on Hadoop will become the preferred way to detect fraud and revenue threats in mobile networks against massive communication service provider (CSP) data lakes. In our next post we will look at the top influencers in machine learning from 2015.
