Hi Renato, Great work. The proposal looks just great. I think it will be beneficial for all of us when a comparative investigation is carried out between Nutch LR and Giraphs PR. In my opinion this should most certainly features as one of the early milestones of the project. I think this would make a nice blog post and/or wiki page within Apache Giraph which Nutch wiki can also link to. I acknowledge your intention to use the 2.x Nutch branch as oppose to trunk. This makes sense given your knowledge of Gora from last years GSoC and I think this should be welcomed as it most certainly lowers the barrier to doing more exciting things within this years effort (if the proposal is accepted.) Can i please ask you to keep the Giraph Jira issue documented with any wiki entries? This will enable better tracking and evaluation from a mentor and admin perspective. It is a good start.
