I do apologize for the lack of responses to some of your queries, we do try to assist community members in finding solutions to their questions, but unfortunately there are no guarantees in the forums, as responses are purely voluntary.  There are no service level agreements in the community, that is only available for paid support customers and through our actual support portal.  We will continue to assist to the best of our ability, but please understand that you may not always get immediate responses, or a solution to a particular thread. ...

Michael,     Thank you for the suggestion and for your participation in our community.  One of the main things we consider about our discussion boards is not only how intuitive and easy our community web site is to browse, but also how to achieve a significant amount of traffic in each section.  Web site real estate is so important when it comes to your satisfaction of the page and it's ease of use that we take this very seriously.  Best practices for healthy/vibrant communities show that you don't want any discussion boards present that receive less than about 15 posts per day.  These low traffic boards just take up space on the web page and don't seem very lively for community participants who are browsing the page, so they end up being more of a distraction than benefit.  Over time, it is very possible that the CM API itself may generate enough topics to be worthy of it's own board.  I'm not sure it's there yet, but we will definitely take a deeper look at the metrics and consider it.  As it stands today, we have many internal experts who monitor the CM board as well as many external users so it is a very good place to ask API questions.   Much appreciated,   Clint ...

Great suggestion, Gerd.  I see what you mean and we'll bounce this idea around.  Our support department internally categorizes security as a facet of each component, because you can have security-related topics for any particular component of the hadoop ecosystem.  I'll let you know our feedback soon, though.   Regards,   Clint ...
