Hello everyone, I'm a graduate student at the University of Texas at Austin. I'm looking for a research/implementation based project on Hadoop and I came across the list posted on the wiki page - http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/ProjectSuggestions. But, this page was last updated in September, 2009. So, I'm not sure if some of these ideas have already been implemented or not. I was particularly interested in the following projects (listed on the wiki page): 1) Sort and Shuffle optimization in the MR framework. 2) Hadoop compatible framework for discovering network topology and identifying and diagnosing hardware that is not functioning correctly.
Can anyone give me any details about these? Are these projects already under progress or completed? Thanks, Nikhil
