Hello everyone, 

I am Xun Liu, the head of the machine learning team at Netease Research 
Institute. I quite agree with Wangda.

Our team is very grateful for getting Submarine machine learning engine from 
the community.  
We are heavy users of Submarine. 
Because Submarine fits into the direction of our big data team's hadoop 
technology stack, 
It avoids the needs to increase the manpower investment in learning other 
container scheduling systems. 
The important thing is that we can use a common YARN cluster to run machine 
learning, 
which makes the utilization of server resources more efficient, and reserves a 
lot of human and material resources in our previous years.

Our team have finished the test and deployment of the Submarine and will 
provide the service to our e-commerce department (http://www.kaola.com/) 
shortly.

We also plan to provides the Submarine engine in our existing YARN cluster in 
the next six months. 
Because we have a lot of product departments need to use machine learning 
services, 
for example: 
1) Game department (http://game.163.com/) needs AI battle training, 
2) News department (http://www.163.com) needs news recommendation,
3) Mailbox department (http://www.163.com) requires anti-spam and illegal 
detection, 
4) Music department (https://music.163.com/) requires music recommendation, 
5) Education department (http://www.youdao.com) requires voice recognition, 
6) Massive Open Online Courses (https://open.163.com/) requires multilingual 
translation and so on.

If Submarine can be released independently like Ozone, it will help us quickly 
get the latest features and improvements, and it will be great helpful to our 
team and users.

Thanks hadoop Community!
