Saw this via a tweet by GigaOm.
Cloudera has acquired Datapad.
GigaOm article about it:
Cloudera bought DataPad because data scientists need tooling, too
Summary of the GigaOm article about the acquisition:
[ Cloudera has acquired a data-visualization startup called DataPad, the founding team of which specializes in data analysis using the Python programming language [1]. As Hadoop competition heats up, Cloudera might be ramping up its Python tooling in order to attract more data scientists and developers. ]
[1] The founders of DataPad (Wes McKinney and Chang She) are also the creators of the pandas Python library for data analysis.
