"Currently, my favorite is Vertica, but I do have concerns about its future under the stewardship of HPE." HPE employee here (Not a vertica team member, though) Many teams within HP are very excited to use Vertica. Many more teams are looking to use Vertica for our own product offerings. There's no reason, in the short term, for HPE to shift away from Vertica. On the other hand, I'd say that HPE will invest more into Vertica.
