Hello Vaijanath, Basically, if you'd like to contribute to the core of Hama, you need to understand how map-reduce works, and how to implement map-reduce algorithms.
Also, you need some basic background on Hadoop and Hbase. But I'm sure if you get your hands dirty with Hama code for a while, it'll help you understand those two as well. However, there are also other parts of the project, for example contributing a GUI / a shell for Hama, etc. Any other cool ideas also welcome. Best regards, Chanwit 2008/7/23 Vaijanath N.
