Case Study: AutoScout24 achieves 10x faster Hive performance and months-of-data analytics with Cloudera

AutoScout24 Boosts Performance by 10X with Cloudera

AutoScout24, one of Europe’s largest online automotive marketplaces serving over 10 million users monthly and 40,000 dealers across 18 countries, struggled to scale its log-file analytics after migrating from relational databases to Hadoop. After running Cloudera’s CDH in-house for three years, the company faced architectural and high-volume ingestion issues (notably with Flume NG from IIS) that limited analysts to querying only days of data at a time.

By engaging Cloudera Professional Services for cluster certification, hardware tuning, data‑processing optimization, and Hive improvements, AutoScout24 achieved a 10x improvement in Hive performance and can now analyze months of weblog data in a single query. The optimized Cloudera enterprise data hub processes about 400 GB of uncompressed logs per day (210 TB capacity) and drives deeper customer insights and new products such as a recommendation engine.
