Are they close enough to be considered a proper name clash? Not sure, but it's worth thinking about.

Well they're spelled exactly the same, but don't come close to doing the same thing:

https://getsentry.com/welcome/ - An error logging & aggregation platform

Very true. Too bad projects don't come with tld's.

Sentry.hadoop

Sentry.logging
