We've developed a Thrift service that provides a common client interface to distributed file systems, similar to the HDFS-APIs project which is part of the Hadoop contrib package, but designed to support a broader array of DFS's. Currently we support Hadoop and Sector, and given time and resources would like to implement support for KFS.
We plan to open source this project, and would like to explore contributing it to Thrift. We've searched the wiki and mailing lists for info on the process to contribute a project to Thrift, but haven't been able to find anything. If this is something that folks feel would have value as a contributed project, can somebody provide us with details on the process we need to follow? Thanks.
