Virtually all modern "big data" platforms are necessarily "distributed" just by the virtue of taking up more than one computer. They also necessarily happen to have some kind of centralized "brain" (i.e. scheduler, which is what Ray basically is).
I know blockchain and AI are the hot buzzwords right now, but it's really not related to the kind of decentralized computing that you're probably thinking about (i.e. Golem-style agoric computing).
