Very glad to see your replies, especially Raghu from Yahoo:) I really feel more confident about Hadoop now, but still don't have a specific image about how mature Hadoop already is. So what kind of realworld application is Yahoo running based on Hadoop now? Do we have a benchmark or that kind of data to tell everybody where is Hadoop now? How far it would go to become a full fledged framework, or platform.
I think it will get better responses if you describe what your requirements are in more specific terms. 'full fledged framework' is too generic. I would also suggest installing Hadoop on a small cluster and play with it to get better idea on how solid it is. Another thing to consider is that Hadoop is improving all the time.
For large clusters, there are a few configuration tweaks that help.. I think there is already a wiki or faq entry on Hadoop site.
