Hi Eli, I'm a student too interested in taking up a hadoop task as a gsoc project. There are JIRA tickets tagged explicitly as gsoc so I wanted to discuss a few ideas before deciding to take up a particular task.
I had asked the list earlier and got no replies on it. http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/hadoop-common-dev/201203.mbox/raw/%3CCAEH2wZDisjFjbezbbSvpWSd%2BAeczxgVqQkZgkCUbwSb9zW-jSA%40mail.gmail.com%3E/1 Do you know any committers / PMC members who are planning on mentoring students for the program so that I could discuss some ideas with them. Sorry to bother you with this but I was unable to get a response on IRC yesterday too.
