Hi all,
For the last two years my team at IBM has been involve in maintaining Apache hadoop and related
projects ( i.e. HBase, HIVE, PIG,..). We have extensive knowledge in area of porting Apache hadoop projects
to other platforms (i.e. IBM JAVA, POWER, SystemZ,..). We would like to bring this knowledge to aid expanding fedora's hadoop
ecosystems.
To start, I would like to propose adding support for following platforms (Sorted by importance) to fedora hadoop:
1) IBM POWER
2) IBM JAVA 7 (post October release) - This might be belong to Fedora JAVA SIG
3) IBM SystemZ


Best Regards
