In theory you are right, unfortunately at least the hadoop "community" is difficult to work with. Hundreds of JIRAs with patches in limbo state for month/years

In theory you are right, unfortunately at least the hadoop "community" is difficult to work with. Hundreds of JIRAs with patches in limbo state for month/years b/c nobody of the paid developers at cloudera/horton bothers to take a look. Also the political things happening behind the scenes are way more complex than you might think. It is frustrating...
