I think so, spending one year in big company is really good experience. You will learn how to work in large teams.
metronius··on Spark Breaks Previous Large-Scale Sort Record
Yes, i think that the debate makes no sense too - for me, Spark is no Hadoop competitor its rather complement.

Spark does not need Hadoop - you can run it also with Mesos or in local mode..

1. Cloudera left M/R for Spark, Mahout left M/R for Spark. Spark community will be huge soon.

2. Yes, Spark was/is buggy.

3. For me Spark is really paradigm shift, next generation framework compared to M/R

metronius··on Seznam, a Czech search company, previews 3D maps
"The dataset for this model was acquired within mere 45 minutes by a Pteryx UAV with maximum TOW of 5kg, flying 150m above ground level. The drone carried a consumer grade compact camera (Canon PowerShot S90) and took a total of 541 nadir oriented images. The resultant true 3D model demonstrates Melown Maps ability to capture façades even in the absence of oblique aerial imagery."

The paragraph is about another dataset, not the Brno city dataset.
