Hadoop is now in Debian: http://packages.qa.debian.org/h/hadoop.html Hadoop is an Open Source implementation of Google's File System, MapReduce and BigTable (HBase, not yet packaged). The idea behind Google's infrastructure and therefor Hadoop is: Have many cheap comodity servers that together form a powerful cluster. Each node of the cluster is redundant and can be replaced without downtime. I believe, but can't know for sure, that everything what FTP-Master does, could be implemented on top of hadoop. However it means for sure a lot of work and many hardcore sysadmins will feel very uncomfortable to use Java, the language Hadoop is written in. I'm planning to give a presentation of hadoop at the DebConf in Bosnia and maybe then we may discuss, if hadoop should have a place in Debian's infrastructure. - For now I'm happy, if somebody became curious. :-) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadoop Best regards, Thomas Koch, http://www.koch.ro -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
