Additional functionality to support Hadoop development would be great, but Karmasphere seems to be focusing more on this area.
A framework for deploying Hadoop based applications is the stated goal of Cloudera Desktop, but it is not yet clear what a Cloudera Desktop 'app' is. Is that something that submits a jar and pops up a window? I'd like to see tighter integration with HIVE and Pig around an intuitive interface, tools that enable normal users to use Hadoop, similar to: http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hive/HiveWebInterface http://wiki.apache.org/pig/PigPen http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.151.2353&rep=rep1&type=pdf http://vimeo.com/6032078 and http://www-01.ibm.com/software/ebusiness/jstart/bigsheets/index.html Speculative execution a la ILLUSTRATE is critical for developing/parametizing long-running jobs, and the user interface should include this feature as an integral part. On the operational front, I want a GUI that requires minimal configuration to discover a bunch of machines and that will automatically install, configure and optimize hadoop on an entire cluster with minimal involvement from me. I want logs and auditing of usage, latency, etc. per user and per queue, etc. I want the ability to automatically move computation to EC2 when load spikes and when the scale of the data makes it possible to do so. I want a cluster that builds and runs itself, and only bothers me when hardware is broken.
