On: Cloudera and Hortonworks merge

I have both used Cloudera stack and Hortonworks. I would say in my experience that installation and management is much straightforward with HW distribution. Both companies stacks have similar Apache projects and management software like Ambari and Cloudera Manager.

It doesn't bode well for either of them. This is a pure contraction of the markets they are trying to serve.
