That's exactly what they told me -- a possibility for a "few" Apache projects. I'm yet to have a single bit of practical > You want a grant for bigtop though, right Roman? Well, Bigtop was conceived as THE place for integrating and validating Apache Hadoop ecosystem projects. I'm sure individual projects will benefit from having EC2 credits on a per-project basis. That said, if we want the kind of testing I did for HBase 0.92RC/Hadoop 0.22RC happen on regular basis for a way bigger matrix of compatibility -- we need those credits for Bigtop. Think of it as umbrella. I'm still at ApacheCON (its been a long week). We've been having conversations with EMC/Greenplum about them donating CPU time on their real H/W cluster to Bigtop. The idea here is that we'd be using it for testing trunks of different Hadoop projects against each other, etc. > You've tried writing them a pretty-please? Yup. Thanks, Roman.
