I'd like to propose Zookeeper, which is a distributed coordination service, roughly similar to Google's Chubby, as a new Hadoop subproject. I think Zookeeper would be a great basis for both Map/Reduce and HDFS high availability. The current version at http://zookeeper.sourceforge.net/ was developed by Yahoo!, which will provide a software grant to Apache.
+1 This would be great. Since this will be governed by Hadoop's PMC and be developed by Hadoop's existing community, I think you're right that this need not go through the Incubator, that we can just import the code through a software grant.
