I've got two homeless projects looking to get in to Hadoop 1. the branch-1 HA canary monitor, which can also monitor arbitrary services with an HTTP port, including declared dependencies on HDFS being live (no timeouts reporting to vsphere or Linux HA while HDFS is offline or in safe mode) 2. the swiftfs filesystem driver https://github.com/hortonworks/Hadoop-and-Swift-integration docs: https://github.com/hortonworks/Hadoop-and-Swift-integration/blob/master/swift-file-system/src/site/md/swift-filesystem.md
#1 I can just stick in contrib/ in branch 1, but #2 is homeless. It's a big patch, but is coupled to the FS contract tests (which I've been extending in HADOOP-9258 to be more rigorous) Where can things like this go, now that there is no contrib/? hadoop-tools?
