Agree that the downward trend did not stop this quarter. Although there is a lot of code modifications done in our labs, links to close source software made it difficult to contribute back. It looks like I won't be able to contributing actively into Chukwa community as I planned. However, I am mentoring two SJSU students for their thesis related to monitoring Hadoop with Chukwa. Their work may bring new insights to continue the development. I would like mentors to keep an open mind about this for one more quarter. Thanks
