You bring up a really good point. Being a bit younger, I hadn't seen much of HPC. I recently attended Big Data Innovation Summit and saw a joint talk between Intel and Dell.
It didn't surprise me that a lot of the stuff hadoop did wasn't really newer per se, but it was great seeing the 2 converge and understanding the differences in the philosophies.
YARN as a whole is going to be a great enabler for many kinds of platforms.
It's a great time to be doing distributed systems. I might be biased in that I have a few cards on the table as well in that space, but I like getting up every morning so..meh.
