Hello Himanshu. Its hard to make suggestion when I've no clue as to your interests. Can you cite some of the papers you mention? + Have you looked at HIVE? It might be more pertinent making this run better atop hbase rather than making a new XQuery-like tool for hbase. + Build an app that allows various kind of location queries using geohashing+hbase combo. There's a few fellas floating on the list who might be able to help you out on this project. For extra points, whatever you do, build it using hbase-2000 coprocessors. Thanks for writing the list Himanshu. St.Ack
