>>   We don't understand how this message about Telefónica discontinuing

>>
>>     - Cosmos continues being the product that Telefónica supports as
>>    implementation of the Big Data enabler.   In fact, last months Telefónica
>>    released a number of components/tools that are helping growth of the
>>    “Cosmos ecosystem”, targeted to reinforce integration with other relevant
>>    FIWARE GEs:
>>       - Cygnus, for historical context data persistence.
>>       - Tidoop-ext, allowing using CKAN open data as input data for
>>       Hadoop.
>>       - Tidoop-mr, a library of general purpose MapReduce jobs ready to
>>       be used.
>>       - Even, we have moved to an OAuth2-based authentication and
>>       authorization for those REST APIs exposed in Hadoop.
>>    - Cosmos, as a live product, continuously evolves and this means
>>    changes.  Sustainability of the whole product is one of the key aspects in
>>    mind when taking decisions about his evolution.   In this respect, one of
>>    the changes we have introduced in Cosmos is about adopting Openstack’s
>>    Sahara as the core of the "Hadoop as a Service" engine of the Cosmos GE,
>>    replacing a development that Telefónica had made supporting that
>>    functionality when nothing like Sahara was available.    Reasons for this
>>    change are several, but the most important ones are:
>>       - Sahara natively integrates with Openstack, the virtualization
>>       infrastructure used in FIWARE, therefore the "Hadoop as a Service" engine
>>       would be much better integrated with OpenStack-based clouds like the FIWARE
>>       Lab.   Based on DevStack, we will be also available to support this "Hadoop
>>       as a Service" functionality standalone (without requiring to deploy and
>>       setup a complete Cloud) on a number of dedicated servers.
>>       - Sahara offers at least the same functionality offered by the
>>       initial software to support "Hadoop as a Service" functionality developed
>>       by Telefónica.   That part of the product was fine when no technologies
>>       like Sahara were available. Now, it has no sense to continue with it, and
>>       it is more interesting for us (and the community of developers) to
>>       contribute to Sahara, reinforcing sustainability in the longer term..
>>    - Anyways, our experience says most SME and startups just need Hadoop
>>    for performing data analysis.   Deploying the "Hadoop as Service"
>>    functionality is only required by a few of them.   For those who do not
>>    require to deploy that service, even installing Sahara has no sense since
>>    that would be as killing flies with cannons.  As part of our support,
>>    Telefónica is recommending these SMEs/startups who don't require a "Hadoop
>>    as a Service" functionality to go for any of the following two options:
>>       - To use the shared Hadoop cluster available at FIWARE Lab. This
>>       global instance has no 24x7 support nor production-like SLAs as it happens
>>       with the rest of the FIWARE Lab service.   However, Telefónica's team is
>>       committed to provide its best to support in time, whenever issues are
>>       reported.   We believe that the performance for this support is good.
>>       - If the above is not enough and you are looking for a production
>>       environment, then you will need to install Hadoop in your own
>>       infrastructure by using any of the available distributions.    In this
>>       case, Telefónica is ready to support users on installing Hadoop as well.
>>    - Replacing the "Hadoop as a Service" engine doesn't affect at all
>>    how applications performing map-reduce bigdata analysis is performed with
>>    Cosmos.   After all, in the new like the previous version, developers use
>>    the Hadoop APIs (they may also rely on the rest of additional APIs/tools we
>>    are creating as part of Cosmos, check the first bullet, but none of them
>>    has been discontinued).
>>    - For those few SME and startups willing to became a service provider
>>    and aiming offering Hadoop As A Service, the new Cosmos "Hadoop as a
>>    Service" engine based on Sahara is the right solution.
>>       - The same infrastructure you envisioned for previous versions of
>>       Cosmos is still valid for Sahara.
>>       - Regarding the installation, there are several distributions
>>       available making the task relatively easy.
>>       - We can support SMEs/startups on installing the new version of
>>       Cosmos relying on Sahara as the Hadoop as a Service engine.
>>
>>
>>   Bottom line and, as you can see, *Cosmos continues being supported*.
