Like Bob I would have liked to do more than just monitoring the list, but clearly I haven't and that doesn't give me much legitimacy I'm afraid. +0 from me as well.
I've just come back to Hadoop after an absence of 18 months, and I see that a development environment for Hadoop-related computing and data warehousing tools (MapReduce, Spark [SQL|Streaming], Pig, HBase, Hive, etc) and their libraries (Mahout, Giraph, MLlib and GraphX) is still missing, and that there *is* a real need for it. Any cloud provider worth their salt offers a Hadoop as a platform service where you can deploy a cluster within minutes, but there's no way to get started developing jobs right away. And I see organisations struggle with this on private deployments as well. Stacks like Hue and IPython Notebook and simple stepping stone nodes fill part of the gap, but I think we can do way better. I've just come back to this space, and this is a problem I'm addressing for my current client (a bank) as well. If somebody would like to discuss tackling this together then lets set up a short call. I do have to say that looking at the current Hadoop toolset, I'm no longer convinced that Eclipse is the way to go here.
