i've been looking into contributing the code base and figured writing test cases for the common mapreduce examples was a good place to start. i got this idea ofcourse, from the main project suggestions page. i was wondering about the status of the following jira ticket :
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-2008?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel says its still open ? is anybody working on this actively right now ? if not, id like to have a go at it Goutham
