All good points. I can't say what the future of Naiad is. What they have done to Microsoft Research Silicon Valley is disgusting (I worked there too for a short time).

In our experiences the performance claims with Spark have been more hype than substance. Naiad on the other hand has been hard to find a corner case for.

Naiad is open source licensed under an Apache License so one can only hope...

Thanks, but: this is a dead project.

Also, it appears to be tied to Windows (it's delivered as a VS solution).
