Hadoop is moving the way Linux did - fast and with a large number of companies pushing it together. As big as Google is, it wouldn't be able to dominate Linux, just as it can't now dominate Hadoop. My interpretation of the author is that it would have been better for Google to have something they can control the development of, rather than have somebody outside the tent pushing it in ways that don't suit them. Look at IBM and Spark. They see a long term threat/opportunity and moved quickly to negate it.
- TheIronYuppie 11y agoDisclaimer: I work at Google on Kubernetes. To be clear, this is exactly why we donated 100% of Kubernetes to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. We believe very strongly that the reason Linux was successful was that no single company controlled it. Though we have opinions about what makes container management successful, we are but a minority of the more than 650+ contributors to the platform.
