I don't know if this is in CentOS 7 but i can't see it in the SotB. I am gearing up for a project based on using a hadoop cluster (along with HiveQL) and my current plan was going to use fedora 20 for the nodes with CentOS used for everything else. I wasn't overly happy about the prospect of the inevitable churn but this good news has made me reconsider. I am willing to bet my time that the trade off between helping maintain hadoop/hbase/hive/avro/mahout/zookeeper as part of a CentOS SIG in the "new era" against the reduced change control required to avoid fedora breakage will be worth it. I'll drop by #centos-devel regards mike _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
