Man, that's really a lot of filler-text to announce that you're basically doing "something with HBase".
Can we get at least some basic details, like is this going to be a hosted service or something I install on my own servers?
It's a lot more than "something with HBase" :)
It'll be hosted in the cloud (SaaS-style), or you can run it in the datacenter.
So and it's basically a convenience wrapper around HBase/Hadoop or...? I'm still not clear what it actually adds on top of regular HBase.
