Yahoo! Distribution of Hadoop

Many people in the Apache Hadoop* community have asked Yahoo! to publish the version of Apache Hadoop we test and deploy across our large Hadoop clusters. As a service to the Hadoop community, we are releasing the Yahoo! Distribution of Hadoop -- a source code distribution that is based entirely on code found in the Apache Hadoop project. This source distribution includes code patches that we have added to improve the stability and performance of our clusters. In all cases, these patches have already been contributed back to Apache, but they may not yet be available in an Apache release of Hadoop.
