# Apache Falcon

Falcon is a feed processing and feed management system aimed at making it
easier for end consumers to onboard their feed processing and feed
management on hadoop clusters.

## Why Apache Falcon?

* Dependencies across various data processing pipelines are not easy to
  establish. Gaps here typically leads to either incorrect/partial
  processing or expensive reprocessing. Repeated duplicate definition of
  a single feed multiple times can lead to inconsistencies / issues.

* Input data may not arrive always on time and it is required to kick off
  the processing without waiting for all data to arrive and accommodate
  late data separately

* Feed management services such as feed retention, replications across
  clusters, archival etc are tasks that are burdensome on individual
  pipeline owners and better offered as a service for all customers.

* It should be easy to onboard new workflows/pipelines

* Smoother integration with metastore/catalog

* Provide notification to end customer based on availability of feed
  groups (logical group of related feeds, which are likely to be used
  together)
