Hey Doron, These links are a good starting point:
http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/HowToContribute http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/ProjectSuggestions http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/HadoopResearchProjects I'd also checkout unresolved new features in jira. This query is a starting point. You can edit the project field to be "HDFS" or "MAPREDUCE" to find jiras specific to either. https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&jqlQuery=project+%3D+HADOOP+AND+resolution+%3D+Unresolved+AND+issuetype+%3D+%22New+Feature%22+ORDER+BY+priority+DESC%2C+key+DESC Thanks, Eli On Mon, Mar 19, 2012 at 6:21 PM, Doron Tsur <qbal...@gmail.com> wrote: > HI all, > > I am CS student in my final year and I would like to combine the Hadoop > project with GSoC over the summer.
