I think this is an important consideration in the mid to long term; The Cloudera distribution is certainly more popular (one of the Ubuntu server team discussed this with Hadoop users at Hadoop World last year) but at the moment they only support the Sun/Oracle JDK which would be a blocker for good upstream participation/support. Reference [1] also mentions Bigtop; This is a Cloudera project that has been open-sourced and has just been accepted as an Apache Incubator project. I will be participating (see [3]) and I hope that this will allow the upstream distribution packaging to converge with the distro packaging. > > Neither Clint or I are Debian Developers so we will need help in the > > form of sponsorship to ensure that this package continues to be actively > > maintained. > > You can count on my help for sponsoring (and I think others DD in Debian Java > Team can provide time for reviews and upload too :) Great - thankyou!
