Here at CSR4 we are actively using Hadoop for multiple purposes, ranging from bioinformatics applications connected to the analysis of deep sequencing datasets and large scale Genome-Wide Association Studies to exotic applications such as using hdfs as a scalable file system to support the deployment and management of (large) HPC virtual clusters.
We would like to establish contacts with other group in Italy to be able to share experiences and ideas. A reasonable mechanism for this could be an Italian User group. Please e-mail me if you like the idea, so that we can assess whether there is enough interest in setting this up. Gianluigi Zanetti (gianluigi.zane...@crs4.it)
