Klaas Bosteels commented on HADOOP-4304:
----------------------------------------
The failure in the core unit tests does not seem to be related to my patch (it
seems to be due to HADOOP-3874 instead), so I guess this can be committed?

> 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.
