And the most important thing in a second mail: I ran a performance test on 10 computers, and Plasma was a bit faster than Hadoop for a dataset of 100G. Read more here: http://blog.camlcity.org/blog/plasma6.html
Of course, this is still a small test, and one of the possible ways to interpret the result is that Plasma is simply less CPU-hungry than Hadoop. Which sounds logical given the fact that Hadoop is written in Java. Anyway, it is an encouraging result.
