Understood. I'm afraid I'm not known for finesse so its hard to advise navigating the contours of the fine line. Usually you are good at it. > How should I answer this?

Once this topic has been exhausted -- the list is short I think when it comes to this particular question -- then alternative proprietaries might be floated. I felt you deserved the yellow card because the first response out the gate was '(Slightly) off topic' and could be read as a plug for a commercial product. > Another answer that I want to underscore is "MapR supports Hbase. A lot." > I know this. And MapR+HBase makes for a sweet story (I'll not go on -- someone might pull the yellow card on me). Can we get the word out else-wise than as plug-looking messages on this list (I'd like to help if I can). Its my sense that such messages rub readers of this list the wrong way and might be held against you. Good on you Ted, St.Ack
