    It is horrible. Spark version is old, API is very buggy, hard to scale up cluster without contacting capacity planning. We are dumping. HDINsight in favour of provisioning our own instances on top of AKS

    Databricks is now the preferred platform, we are indeed likely dumping. Run run run away.

  • Azure Hdinsight is one example of good intention and poor execution. The group was created to allow customers Open source solutions in Azure. It plays a key role in getting or keeping enterprise customers to Azure. But the leadership and execution of the group has been horrible. Instead of providing value add on OSS, they are giving a tough experience to customer. No upgrade story, no integration with rest of Azure platforms, heavy cost, poor livesite support are some of the pain.
