Hey bigtop: Another idea, which i have been toying with for some time - is the idea of implementing the old hibernate/ibatis app "jpetstore" for hadoop.
I think bigtop might be a good template for this, but not sure if it should go in bigtop itself : i.e. put an entire bigdata workflow into bigtop as an example/template for people to better comprehend how mapreduce ETL plays with adhoc analytics (HIVE/PIG) , and how machine learning (mahout etc) finally interact with end sinks (hbase). etc... Not sure if this is in the scope of bigtop but i think, for people getting into the hadoop ecosystem and useing bigtop as a venue to do so, an example app of this sort might be particularly useful. Apologies is this is off scope of bigtop but let me know! -- Jay Vyas http://jayunit100.blogspot.com
