My problem is not with Hadoop, my problem is that this is part of main Solr 
module and is not in a contrib module (where it should live). It was committed 
without discussing about all the integration problems, like test-only JAR files 
in different versions like we currently have. I have nothing against Hadoop, 
but I feel like we should not use code that has a bad design and is not 
platform independent (I am talking about the test dependencies only!). Isn't it 
possible to test our code without using this MiniDFSCluster? This component 
also seems to be the cause of the permgen errors: We need to tune it or replace 
it by something that works correctly - also on Windows!

I agree the "slow" nickname is bad - the parts of hadoop code I looked at 
should be updated, including the Cygwin requirement (MiniDFSCluster, UNIX Shell 
code). But the response time to new issues seems to be low (see the Locale 
problems where you submitted a 2-line patch), so I don't want to submit patches 
or issues at the moment.

Uwe
