The fastest (at least in term of terasort) hadoop platform?

Is that a question or a statement?

MapR breaks the Hadoop TeraSort world record using Google Compute Engine (https://plus.google.com/+GoogleDevelopers/posts/NURRXZ985XV)

Yeah and thats only for single vcore. Maybe for 2 vcores. Do you really need 420GB for single. How about half that and give me another vcore.

It's Google, so you have a guarantee it won't be shut down in the near future.

Ohwait...
