We could tie Hudson to it, but we don't have to. I think it would be more for us to have a sandbox where we can run things, etc. I do think it would be interesting if we could somehow easily provision several zones so that we could run a small Hadoop cluster. Being able to do something like that, I think, would make Mahout more accessible to people who don't have large budgets or large data centers. -Grant
