From: RSD To: general@hadoop.apache.org Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Virus-Checked: Checked by ClamAV on apache.org I am in the Technical Operations Dept at Hi5, and recently given responsibility for service delivery in regards to our Hadoop installation.
