Hi All, My name is Ankur and I am new to Hadoop user and developer community. I have recently acquainted Myself with the Map/Reduce programming paradigm and Hadoop as a platform for performing Map/Reduce computations on large amounts of data.
As a part of my medium and long term plans I intent to continuously use hadoop for executing my Map/Reduce jobs as well as make active contributions to Hadoop in the form of patches for existing bugs/features/enhancements that exist is Hadoop JIRA. Any recommendations/pointers for the right way of making contributions thus would greatly appreciated. Thanks and Regards -Ankur
