Waterline Data, The Smart Data Catalog Company, today announces the integration of the company’s Smart Data Catalog with Apache Atlas within Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP).

The Apache Atlas project provides data governance framework and capabilities for Hadoop that effectively address many compliance requirements. With the addition of Waterline Data’s Smart Data Catalog, Apache Atlas users can replace manual tagging of metadata with an automated process that rapidly classifies the data assets in their data lake, including new data even as it’s created. Unlike catalogs that scan historical SQL logs, Waterline Data automatically catalogs every field of data in the data lake while capturing and learning from tribal knowledge.

Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP) is the industry’s only true secure, enterprise-ready open source Apache Hadoop distribution based on a centralized architecture (YARN). HDP addresses the complete needs of data-at-rest, powers real-time customer applications and delivers robust analytics that accelerate decision making and innovation.
