Bug#579787: see in debian/TODO

[Thomas Koch <thomas@koch.ro>]

Hi Sylvestre,

thank you for your offer. I already collected some pointers in the debian/TODO 
file:
http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-java/hadoop.git;a=blob;f=debian/TODO

There's also a wiki page on Hadoop in the Debian wiki
http://wiki.debian.org/Hadoop
I've not yet really used this page since I've been alone so far.

So what's there exactly to do?

src/native - some glue so that hadoop can use native compression libraries

src/c++/libhdfs - see: http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/LibHDFS
"libhdfs is a JNI based C api for Hadoop's DFS. It provides a simple subset of 
C apis to manipulate DFS files and the filesystem"

src/c++/pipes - see: 
http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/current/api/org/apache/hadoop/mapred/pipes/package-
summary.html
Allows to write Hadoop Jobs in C++ or to write wrappers for other swig 
supported languages (python, perl)

src/contrib/fuse-dfs - mount HDFS

And then there are many more interesting things in src/contrib that needs 
packaging...
