Thanks for the interest, Suchith Javagal. Have you seen http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/HowToContribute from the Apache Hadoop wiki? I think it is a good starting point if you want to become familiar with the project.
Also, the wiki page has a very handy link to all the JIRAs that are "easy" fixes that you can do and get you started contributing to the project: https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?filter=12331506 I recommend doing the following: 1) Look at unit test JIRAs, both open and closed. Tons of benefits: they'll help you understand some part of the API, some could use some comments and enhancements, etc. 2) Pick a component (ResourceManager, NodeManager, MR APIs, DataNode, NameNode, etc.) and focus on that to start. It's easier than trying to understand it all at once. 3) Participate in some code reviews. It will be non-binding, but testing out other code can help you understand some part.
