Meh...
"He added: “75 per cent of Hadoop implementations run on MapR and Cloudera.” So without them, the ODP is a dead duck [our polite words]."
I wonder why it took the CEO of MapR several months to respond to ODP.
The issue is that its hard to gauge the impact of his statement. There is a large percentage of companies that don't pay for support and use either Apache release for free. (Freetards)
But also... while MapR has few defections, there's a lot of flip/flop in the Apache world.
Horton is buying customers as they burn through their capital in an effort to gain market share.
While I personally agree with JS's point of view, that ODP was an effort to save face for Pivotal, and to try and give credibility to Hortonwork's marketing message, it doesn't represent the Hadoop / Big Data community at all.
