Hi Patrick, Thanks for the reply. I am interested in this project and would like to work on it.
In addition, after reading some pages, there are a several issues remained unknown for me. I would like to double check to gain more understanding, though this may be trivial for those who have already been familiar with it. http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/ZooKeeper/SoC2010Ideas#Concurrent_Primitives_Library states that mainly it relates to concurrent primitives, e.g., lock, queue, etc., but seemingly recipes can also provide service such as leader election (http://hadoop.apache.org/zookeeper/docs/r3.2.1/recipes.html) if required. So basically the main theme of the recipe project is to provide a set of services that might be useful for the client or simplify client's tasks (Therefore, recipes may also provide e.g. java.util.concurrent, consensus services, etc.)? At the moment, there have lock and queue implementation under recipes/ for both c and java; but implementations in other language e.g. Phyton, Ruby, etc., may be done as well because I read the page at http://www.cloudera.com/blog/2009/05/building-a-distributed-concurrent-queue-with-apache-zookeeper/ and it provides code using Phyton.
