I have been wondering if I should use CDH (http://www.cloudera.com/hadoop/) instead of the standard Hadoop distribution.
What do most people use? Is CDH free? do they provide the tars or does it provide source code and I simply compile? Can I have some data nodes as CDH and the rest as regular Hadoop? I am asking this because so far I noticed a serious bug (IMO) in the decommissioning process ( http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/hadoop-common-user/201103.mbox/%3cAANLkTikPKGt5zw1QGLse+LPzUDP7Mom=ty_mxfcuo...@mail.gmail.com%3e ) -- --- Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.--
