Steve Loughran commented on MAPREDUCE-4459:
-------------------------------------------
This would be supported by hardware vendors, as the 'hadoop appliances' could
have built in adverts showing what expansion options there were
"Make your runs 20% faster by adding 4 SFF hard disks/server -special offer
this week"
This would require publishing anonymised cluster and usage information to the
advertisers. I believe facebook could provide this service, again providing
extra revenue options for the Hadoop ecosystem.
> Allow ad-placement on the JobTracker /RM UI

> Key: MAPREDUCE-4459
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-4459
> Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: mr-am
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0-alpha
> Environment: all, especially private clusters
> Reporter: Milind Bhandarkar
> Priority: Minor
>
> A lot of Hadoop map-reduce users spend a lot of time staring at the
> jobtracker webUI to check if their job has been scheduled, and checking the
> progress. An easy way to monetize these eyeballs is to allow ad-placement on
> this page. This will attract public-cloud IaaS companies such as AWS, Google
> Compute Engine, Microsoft Azure etc to place ads on that page, such as
> "Waiting for your job to be scheduled on your company's Hadoop cluster ? You
> can create your own cluster and run your jobs fast, without waiting".
> This will allow major Hadoop installations to offload some of their load to
> public IaaS clouds, and in addition, create an ad-revenue source for
> themselves.
> And not only that, based on the demographic (mostly male, mostly starved of
> all the real-world fun) of users of these Hadoop clusters, there could be
> very targeted ads to be placed on this page.
> (Please consider this as an extension to HADOOP-8607).
