Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-4304: -------------------------------------- This would make a good addition to Hadoop. Can you please: - provide this as a patch file, attached directly to this issue. - import src/contrib/build-contrib.xml rather than replicate it - use src/contrib/dumbo/src/{java,python} as the source code paths Thanks! > Add Dumbo to contrib > -------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-4304 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4304 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Klaas Bosteels > Priority: Minor > > Originally, Dumbo was a simple Python module developed at Last.fm to make > writing and running Hadoop Streaming programs very easy, but now it also > consists of some (up till now unreleased) helper code in Java (although it > can still be used without the Java code). We propose to add Dumbo to > "src/contrib" such that the Java classes get build/installed together with > the rest of Hadoop, and the Python module can be installed separately at > will. A tar.gz of the directory that would have to be added to "src/contrib" > is available at > http://static.last.fm/dumbo/dumbo-contrib.tar.gz > and more info about Dumbo can be found here: > * Basic documentation: http://github.com/klbostee/dumbo/wikis > * Presentation at HUG (where it was first suggested to add Dumbo to contrib): > http://skillsmatter.com/podcast/home/dumbo-hadoop-streaming-made-elegant-and-easy > * Initial announcement: > http://blog.last.fm/2008/05/29/python-hadoop-flying-circus-elephant > For some of the more advanced features of Dumbo (in particular the ones for > which the Java classes are needed) there is no public documentation yet, but > we could easily fill that gap by moving some of the internal Last.fm > documentation to the Hadoop wiki. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
