  "According to MapR CEO and cofounder John Schroeder, the company
   has rebuilt Hadoop's storage system, job tracker, and name space,
   providing more rapid access to data and improving the platform's
   ability to scale. MapR's Hadoop is not entirely open source,
   Schroeder says. It is now in use by "quite a few" customers,
   including EMC, whose Greenplum HD Enterprise Edition of Hadoop
   is essentially MapR technology."


ちょっと前の、Hadoop関連の珍騒動：

"Open source Hadoop engineers may spin off from Yahoo!"
 28th April 2011
  http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/04/28/yahoo_may_spin_off_hadoop_division/
.....
  "The Wall Street Journal reports that Yahoo! is "weighing" a Hadoop
   spin-off and that Silicon Valley venture capital firm Benchmark
   Capital has discussed the possibility with the company."

"Yahoo! Hadoop! brain! spin-off! doomed! to! fail!"
 29th April 2011
  http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/04/29/yahoos_startup_to_challenge_couldera/
....
  "After all, while the intent of the spin-off would be to clear
   a path for the startup to operate independently of Yahoo,
   the reality is that Yahoo would remain a major shareholder."
