Hi Atanu, Thanks! I think that we need to make it as easy as possible for our users to try Trafodion and to use Trafodion. I don't think most of our non-developer users will be using Trafodion on a plain Apache platform, especially if they're trying it in a commercial environment. Hortonworks and Cloudera have free community editions.
As we're trying to increase our user base and grow our community, it seems to me that we want to make it easier for folks to try and to use Trafodion, rather than harder. So making sure we have basic functionality that works on the most common distros seems to me to be a basic requirement for success. -Carol P. --------------------------------------------------------------- Email: [email protected] Twitter: @CarolP222 --------------------------------------------------------------- On Thu, Feb 4, 2016 at 11:25 PM, Atanu Mishra <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Carol, > > Great question!
