Demo video looks impressive and useful

I really think your website should be more indicative of what MD does. I had to look it up elsewhere. Regardless, very cool video.
deepkut on HNVery cool demo, this looks like an amazing tool (and I don't even know much about Hadoop!). One question -- it looks like you're skipping over the time it takes for the…

Control over node types, not just number of nodes
From 2 comments
Do I get any control over node types, or is "number of nodes" the only knob I can turn?
revertts on HNRight now, just "number of nodes". But that's definitely something we'll be adding soon.

Integration with existing Hadoop cluster
From 1 comment
Very cool tool. Can the tool be integrated with my existing Hadoop cluster or do I need to transfer all the data to MH?
