Hi,
I am trying to write a thesis proposal about my PhD about usage of hadoop in
cloud computing. I need to find some open problems in cloud computing which
can be addressed by hadoop. I would appreciate if somebody could help me to
find some topics.
Thanks in advance

This might be a starting point
http://www.slideshare.net/steve_l/hadoop-and-universities
* what do you mean by "cloud computing"; if it is VM-hosted code running
on Pay-as-yo-go Infrastructure, this is the kind of problem:
http://www.slideshare.net/steve_l/farming-hadoop-inthecloud
-placing VMs close to the data
-handling failure differently (don't blacklist, kill the VM)
-making Hadoop and its clients more adaptive to clusters where the
machines are moving around more.
Other options
-running Hadoop physically, but use the spare cycles/memory for other
work, so the tasktrackers must co-ordinate Hadoop work scheduling with
other work
-running Hadoop directly against the underlying filesystem of the
infrastructure, instead of HDFS.

Where are you based? If you are in the UK we could meet some time, I'll
be at the opentech event in London next month.
