Hi everyone! I'm doing my master thesis about hadoop/hbase, hypertable, cassandra, voldemort and friends. The actual topic is noSQL databases as backends in various data-access patterns.
In the meantime, I'm going to apply to google summer of code program. I have faced with some unresolved issues while i was doing my research, and i thought, maybe it would be a good challange as a GSOC project, and a great chance to get more familiar with the hadoop internals. As far as i know Google's solution for storing static configuration is Chubby. Hadoop currently suggests manage-scripts for keeping in sync the xml-files on the nodes' local fs. I think, it would be a great summer project to make hadoop services able to store their configuration on ZooKeeper. When a config-file changes, services could be announced runtime, and do the appropriate thing based on the change. What do you think of this idea? Thanks, Daniel
