Most people are using CH3 - if you need some features from another distro use that -
http://www.cloudera.com/hadoop/ I wonder if the Cloudera people realize that CH3 was a pretty happening punk band back in the day (if not they do now = ) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channel_3_%28band%29 cheers - Jeffery Schmitz Projects and Technology 3737 Bellaire Blvd Houston, Texas 77001 Tel: +1-713-245-7326 Fax: +1 713 245 7678 Email: jeff.schm...@shell.com Intergalactic Proton Powered Electrical Tentacled Advertising Droids! -----Original Message----- From: Michael Segel [mailto:michael_se...@hotmail.com] Sent: Monday, July 18, 2011 2:10 PM To: common-user@hadoop.apache.org Subject: RE: Which release to use? Tom, I'm not sure that you're really honoring the purpose and approach of this list. I mean on the one hand, you're not under any obligation to respond or participate on the list. And I can respect that. You're not in an S&D role so you're not 'customer facing' and not used to having to deal with these types of questions. On the other, you're not being free with your information. So when this type of question comes up, it becomes very easy to discount IBM as a release or source provider for commercial support. Without information, I'm afraid that I may have to make recommendations to my clients that may be out of date. There is even some speculation from analysts that recent comments from IBM are more of an indication that IBM is still not ready for prime time. I'm sorry you're not in a position to detail your offering. Maybe by September you might be ready and then talk to our CHUG? -Mike > To: common-user@hadoop.apache.org > Subject: Re: Which release to use? > From: tdeut...@us.ibm.com > Date: Sat, 16 Jul 2011 10:29:55 -0700 > > Hi Rita - I want to make sure we are honoring the purpose/approach of this > list.
