Really kool, i can just relax, watch and listen especially when i want to get some positive distractions.Great selection of cities and radio stations.

I came multiple times across similar individuals as you have just described. They are very good at talking in details about a tech subject, charismatic, defensive and argumentative all day long over their solution even though it does have lots of holes. But when it comes to actually implementing a task. They usually fall short. They will quickly grap an existing/similar solution from ie github., spend many hours trying to understand it, Then copy-pasted and present it as their work (half-baked solution)

Even though the whole thing could be very simple. Another thing is, they will come up with reasons that the issues with the user story/task for code/solution is due to environment or some other reasons like tools, framework, scalability and "bs".

True. Some one in the cloud is managing these Hadoop stacks for you. You just pay usage of these services.

That's a good question. Both CM and Ambari are front end for managing all the services and more.

I have both used Cloudera stack and Hortonworks. I would say in my experience that installation and management is much straightforward with HW distribution. Both companies stacks have similar Apache projects and management software like Ambari and Cloudera Manager.

Yes this sound unrealistic in most cases. Taking a leave from your current job to try out another one is very risky.
