Does anybody know if those intentions materialised? or if there any other ( free or not so expensive ) platform to test Hadoop jobs??? I mean, obviously there would be several limitations on it, but I don't have access to a cluster and I have some Hadoop jobs I need to test them, so I can prove to my people the power of it (: Thanks in advance.
