SystemML (which is one of the technologies they are donating) looks very interesting:
Declarative large-scale machine learning (ML) in SystemML aims at flexible specification of ML algorithms and automatic generation of hybrid runtime plans ranging from single node, in-memory computations to distributed computations on MapReduce or Spark. ML algorithms are expressed in an R-like syntax, that includes linear algebra primitives, statistical functions, and ML-specific constructs.
