Hello! I guess I am concerned as a user of hadoop that the only way to get an “endorsed” up-to-date version of hadoop one has to abandon the community and “trust” a commercial release with its special sauce.
I am just hoping that the community can put together a nice stable up-to-date patched version. That’d be nice. It probably won’t change my commercial deploy, but it would give me something to compare with :) Just my $0.02 (CND) Cheers James.
