Import Hadoop Distribution Distribution

Recently, looking at the registry of domestic software, I found the Russian assembly Hadoop, which was pretty surprised.
Moreover, the registration was already in 2017. (the link for interested ) and since then on a habr not a line about it.
So, meet - Arenadata Hadoop (ADH)!

First impressions: I
went to the site and ... The last time I experienced such a combination of puzzlement and perplexity in 2014, when I met Belarusian oysters in a store.

Judge for yourself:
here is the site Arenadata


here is the site Hortonworks



The main colors are green and gray.
Both distributions use Ambari to manage the cluster, only ADP has Arenadata and Horton doesn't:



After that I went to the Roadmap section, to look at the component versions and the first reaction was “why did you need to transpose the table?”:
Option from Horton:


And version of Arenadata:


After that, it became a little sad and decided that the “import substitution” ended with a re-glued label, especially noticing Greenplum as Arenadata DB and Arenadata Grid is in the list of products, but then carefully looked at the package version and realized that the base was taken from Hortonworks, and its content was good, and it pleases.

A little lyrical digression: yes, I know that Hortonworks and Cloudera merged, but the company will release distributions under the previous trademarks for another 3 years, so I do not call Hortonworks Clouder, although I could.

Of the pluses - there is Russian-language documentation and support (beginners and those who worked with support as Indians in America should appreciate), however, support is by subscription, and I don’t have a forum where you can ask questions about painful like Cloudera / Horton found.

And now there are a few oddities: 2 versions are registered on the site : Enterprise and Platform, and Enterprise is pretty obscure - without Spark, Zeppelin and Ranger, and only one version is available for download, and that one without the right to choose.
However, judging by the presence of the Ranger, the most complete build of the Arenadata Hadoop Platform is available.

But this is so, little things.
Only 2 things are interesting: when ADP 2.0 is released with Hadoop 3 under the hood - you give a Yarn-on-GPU that can compete with releases from Cloudera and the quality of support - whether it is able to unearth and solve a low-level bug or a ticket will be launched in the Apache Foundation and You will need to wait for an answer.

PS: I didn’t download and install the distribution locally for one simple reason: I’m used to working with multi-node clusters, and after a local installation (read - no thousands of cores and terabytes of RAM) the impression would be pretty spoiled.
