Should be obvious enough. If not, just come back here and ask and we'll get you a list. Uou could pick your own project. Dig in on a particular aspect of read/write path, isolate it so its easy to run tests, and then try to speed it up. A nice recent example that you might take inspiration from is the work done by Richard Liu; see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-8012 for an example. Or, take a look at LarsH's recent HUG presentation where he is going over a few recent speed improvements in 0.94: http://files.meetup.com/1350427/LarsH%20-%20HUG%20presentation.pdf St.Ack
