Our view is that existing Hadoop users are already familiar with their Hadoop distribution management API (CDH, Ambari, MapR etc.) and as such would want to leverage existing investments vs. learning a new management API specific to Savanna. This eases adoption and lowers the barrier of entry of adoption of Hadoop on OpenStack.
