Proposal to add Zookeeper as a new Hadoop subproject

[Owen O'Malley]

I'd like to propose Zookeeper, which is a distributed coordination  
service, roughly similar to Google's Chubby, as a new Hadoop  
subproject. I think Zookeeper would be a great basis for both Map/ 
Reduce and HDFS high availability. The current version at http:// 
zookeeper.sourceforge.net/ was developed by Yahoo!, which will  
provide a software grant to Apache.
