Klaas Bosteels resolved HADOOP-4304.
------------------------------------
Resolution: Later
I am closing this issue (for now) because HADOOP-1722 renders it mostly
obsolete. Since typed bytes provide a cleaner and more efficient alternative to
the java code that is included in dumbo right now, we will be able to remove
all java code from dumbo and make it a pure python module again. Consequently,
future dumbo versions will be very easy to install and use, which makes adding
dumbo to contrib less of requirement. Maybe we can reconsider including dumbo
in contrib once it is more stable and feature complete, but right now
[github|http://github.com/klbostee/dumbo] seems to be a more convenient place
to develop it further...

> 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.
