Sounds valuable to me. Wrt mentor, this list is a good one to query on, perhaps send a new email with your idea and request. I'd offer but I'm swamped. #hadoop on IRC and the lists are a good resource. > Quick question came to mind while reading up some documents, do you have > access to something fancier than home PC in order to run tests?

You could get a big win even on a multi-core system (the tests themselves don't effectively use multiple cores, so running multiple tests in parallel would give you a speedup even on a laptop (if you have sufficient memory).
