Thank you for your input. I tried to google that, but I don't see any heavy usage of "distro" along with those solutions. For example site:https://hadoop.apache

  "Distribution" is definitely used w.r.t. describing different Kubernetes offerings - e.g. https://www.cncf.io/announcement/2017/11/13/cloud-native-computing-foundation-launches-certified-kubernetes-program-32-conformant-distributions-platforms/ https://www.cncf.io/announcement/2017/11/13/cloud-native-com... Likewise for the Hadoop project: https://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Distributions%20and%20Commercial%20Support https://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Distributions%20and%20Commerc... I guess you could argue that "distro" has a distinct meaning to "distribution" with the former specifically pertaining to linux distributions, but I think most people probably just interpret it as being shorthand for the latter

  I can assure you (within the k8s dev community anyway) that "distro" is used to refer to companies productised versions. Look at any of the long term support discussions, and distros will be mentioned. Same goes for OpenStack - we refer to the different vendor products as distros (this is complicated by most of the OpenStack in a box products being produced by Linux distros, but we mean all product versions of OpenStack when we was OpenStack distro)

  just googling "hadoop distro", without limiting it to the hadoop website, finds lots of references to people and media outlets using distro as a shorthand.
