Case Study: Leading Computer Software Company achieves scalable metadata intelligence with SoftServe

Data intelligence— scanners developed to gather metadata from various tools

Leading Computer Software Company, a privately held enterprise software provider, was struggling to manage rapidly growing data across its product ecosystem. Its data had become complex, inconsistent, and difficult to use in context, making analysis and lineage tracking time-consuming and unreliable.

SoftServe developed scanners to collect metadata from tools including Hive, HDFS, Falcon, Flume, and Sqoop in Apache Hadoop environments, then transform and link that data for the client’s metadata repository. The solution was modular, cross-platform, and output structured XML for downstream processing, helping the customer improve metadata management, relationship reconstruction, and lineage creation across major Hadoop distributions.
