I knew it was a bad idea to post 'getting started' tutorials that skipped all the security steps and replace them with a 'probably don't wanna do it this way in production' (and usually no documentation on how one should do it)... Not levelling this comment at HDFS solely but it's about time people stopped with the 'hello world' style examples.

> it's about time people stopped with the 'hello world' style examples Unfortunately not having the initial "this is the core, look how simple it can be" example a lot of people will turn off. > (and usually no documentation on how one should do it) That is the issue. Good documentation is often the issue for many other reasons too. For commercial projects time is money and so often not available in sufficient quantity (at least for externally facing documentation that may be held to standards that internal materials are not so needs extra resource for review+rework). For unfunded work (for instance things that start out as personal projects and/or quick proofs of concept, or many community-only driven works) documentation often gets left because it isn't the interesting/sexy part.
