Summingbird – Streaming MapReduce with Scalding and Storm

There are a number of custom analytics approaches that have been used at Twitter. One of the authors of the Summingbird framework, Sam Ritchie - has also worked on Cascalog (Clojure mapreduce library).

You can see a presentation about a Clojure solution in Cascalog to a similar set of problems by Sam Ritchie here: "Cascalog 2 - Streaming MapReduce in Clojure" https://speakerdeck.com/sritchie/cascalog-2-dot-0-datalog-in...

After building a large Hadoop simulation environment and contemplating how to use the same codebase in a streaming fashion, Summingbird seems like an exciting answer. I am concerned that I don't see much discussion around its use online and wonder what its adoption is like. Are people using it? I wonder if the usage of new terms like "moniod" scares people away.

Not to be negative, but I'm not sure why this is on HN - Summingbird has been open source for most of the last year.
