The "Distributions and Commercial Support" page has been changed by SteveLoughran:

Comment:
Update HDP, cull intel entry :-(, add disclaimer at end of MapR's assertions of superiority. Someone needs to add GCE, RAX, MSFT cloud offerings & RHAT entries.

  ## and generally get overexcited. This is not an advertisement site.
  ## 3. This is about products built from Hadoop or designed to run on it -not replacements.
  ## 4. Please don't be rude about the ASF products or any of your competitors.
+ ##    If you make claims that your product is "better" than the ASF releases then we may cut them or at least demand evidence of validity against the current ASF releases.
  ## 5. You write it -you get to keep the links up to date. If they break we'll just cut the links entirely.

  The sole products that can be called a release of Apache Hadoop come from [[http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/hadoop/|apache.org]]. Some companies release or sell products that include the official Apache Hadoop release files, and/or their own and other useful tools. Other companies or organizations release products that include artifacts build from modified or extended versions of the Apache Hadoop source tree. Such derivative works are not supported by the Apache Team: all support issues must be directed to the suppliers themselves.
  
- The Apache Software Foundation strongly encourages users of Hadoop -in any form- to get involved in the Apache-hosted mailing lists. Even though you may only get support through the supplier of any derivative work of Apache Hadoop, by participating in the Hadoop user and developer lists, you can become an active part of the Hadoop community. Your needs may be addressed in future versions of the code, and you will be able to get in touch with many other users of the technology.

  The Hadoop developers would like you to be aware that filing JIRA issues is not a way to get support to get your Hadoop installation up and running. Those bug reports are not bugs, and will [[InvalidJiraIssues|be closed as invalid]]. Either use the [[http://hadoop.apache.org/general_lists.html#User|hadoop-user]] mailing list, the organisations providing support listed below, or delve into the Hadoop source itself.
