Question:
General starter Hadoop/ Spark fiware-cosmos questions

Description:
I have some general questions about fiware-cosmos, apologies if they are basic but Im trying to understand the architecture and use of cosmos.

I saw that you are planning to integrate Apache Spark into Cosmos ? Do you have a road map or date for that to happen ? What happens if I want to use Spark now ?

What Hadoop service sources can be used ? I think I read that Cosmos supports Cloudera CDH services and raw Hadoop server services ? What about HortonWorks or MapR ?

I know that non standard file systems can be used with Hadoop, for instance MapR-FS, are options like this possible with Cosmos ?

I also read that Cosmos "sits" on top of fiware and so Hadoop as a service (HaaS) can be used and Hadoop clusters generated using open stack ? However, I saw that people are referring to a shared fiware cloud ? Does fiware run as a remote cloud ? Can a local cloud be used on a customer site ?

Is cosmos the only Apache Hadoop/Spark solution on fiware.org ?

Finally, if Cloudera CDH can be used with Cosmos how does the Cloudera cluster manager fit into the mix ? Can it still be used ?

Sorry for all of the questions
