I lost a lot of time due to semester-evaluations at my institute.(I should have notified perhaps.) The summer break is begun and now I have uninterrupted time to devote to GSOC.
I have already setup hadoop-1.0.4 on opensuse-12.3. Mahout 0.8-SNAPSHOT via svn on netbeans-7.3 I've been running various examples and tests included. It took me almost a week( Okay I'm not a wizard !! :) ) to setup and go through various talks and slides. I need some insight whether it is advisable to look into Avro now. TL;DR I was away for college, but am back now full-time. (May this not reflect badly upon me.) Will setup the wiki with my initial ideas in under 24 hours, so that we can all discuss needs of the API.
