I am interested in this project as I have done a lot of AI

Therefore, my
questions are:-
1. Is the knowledge of Hadoop necessary to contribute to this
project?
I don't know that it is initially, but it is definitely one of the
ways we intend to scale. That being said, my guess is that if you
understand the complexities of programming ML algorithms, learning
Hadoop won't be too difficult.
I think we shold welcome all contributions related to ML. Someone with
MR experience and interest of a patch can pick up from there. And
until then they could get to live in some non scalable contribution
package. I'm all for more ASL:ed code.
