Alteryx Server to replace Hadoop/ Cloudera?

[Hadzramin_Rahman]

Hi, 

I am helping a customer to put together a big data analytics platform. If they remove Hadoop from the plat girt, can Alteryx be used to replace Hadoop/ Cloudera platform?

Anyone has similar experience?

Thanks, 

Amin

Not sure what exactly they are looking to replace - Alteryx and Hadoop work nicely together but Alteryx itself isn't a data storage layer. Do they have another data warehouse solution in mind? 

You can read more about how Alteryx and Hadoop work together here including In-DB functionality: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Engine-Works/Hadoop-Performance-Considerations/ba-p/486456

@BrandonB I had a wrong understanding  earlier.
Actually, the customer is looking for HDFS alternatives.

Right now we are testing Minio with Alteryx.
Managed to retrieve data directly from Minio using S3 tool.
