Hi Hadoop Devs, I'm a final year Computer Science undergraduate, and a newbie to Hadoop. In my final year I'm suppose to carry out a research project.
I have an idea to utilize Hadoop over GPGPUs for better performance, as my research project. Do you'll think this idea has any potential in it? And will it obviously contribute for better performance? (I'm thinking of a scenario where the master assigns multiple jobs to single node with a GPGPU) Your valuable ideas are mostly welcome.. Also I'm interested on the topic "Ability to dynamically increase replicas of data in HDFS based on access patterns". I saw that it is reported as an issue at jira https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-782 . The resolution is still marked as unresolved. I would like to know if any work is currently carried out about this. -- Regards Amindri Udugala University of Colombo School of Computing, Sri Lanka.
