Chukwa 0.5 is not going to be ready by end of this year. There are some major changes which I only work on them on long weekends. I think it's best for you to ask questions and you can choose to target for Chukwa 0.4 or 0.5 on your own discretion. For Chukwa 0.3, it was prototyped to load data to HDFS and load materialized result to MySQL. For Chukwa 0.4, it is designed to load data to HDFS only. MySQL path is no longer supported. However, there are hacks to make MySQL components to work with Chukwa 0.4. Chukwa 0.5 is designed to load data to HBase for scalability reason. However, there is a big chunk of work post data loading for Chukwa 0.5 that are not written. Hence, it depends on which version that you are interested in writing article. I can provide pointers, but it is definitely going to take much longer than 8 weeks for Chukwa 0.5.
