Now do this for the Hadoop ecosystem. I'm ripping my hair out because of the complexity of it all. I get that distributed is difficult, but this just feels like too much. Abstraction upon abstraction upon abstraction. Hadoop is this thing over here, but now we have this other thing built on top that is way better. But actually that thing also sucks, so we built a whole layer on top to abstract away the badness of that other thing plus two other alternatives to it. Oh, but that wasn't good enough, so now you can write queries in this other language. And on and on and on it goes.
