As far as I can tell, this is a different vision than that of Wakari. This effort seems to be about building a souped up parellel ML-oriented calculator around Hadoop. There is an R binding, there is a nascent Python binding (that "doesn't include the Python scientific frameworks because [they] are not that familiar with them"[1].
Wakari is an infrastructure for doing repeatable, collaborative analytics with Python. Our existing tools include a simple browser-based environment for code editing, IPython notebook, and sharing of plots and workflows. Our goal is to support multiple applications on that infrastructure, and not necessarily all written by Continuum.
