    Great post, but a couple things.

    Its not THAT big of a deal. Doug is a great engineer but Hadoop has legs of its own and by him joining cloudera the project moves forward with TONS of momentum.

    You mentioned the Yahoo! talent drain but dont mention the fact that MS pretty much will have the greatest pool of hadoop talent in the world under their search teams roof with the Yahoo!. No matter how fast Cloudera grows, MS will have more Hadoop heads. Dont forget they have the Powerset folks in house and they are heavy hadoop users/contributors.

    Also, pretty sure Chris didnt lead all those things, if you search around a bit his core thing at Google was leading their cloud intitiatives around working with universities.
