Hi Tom, This sounds interesting. It would be interesting to look at e.g., how we could take some of the OODT [1] configurations and use Whirr as a front-end to run them in the cloud. I also know the folks in Solr are using Zookeeper, so they may benefit from this project as well.
I don't have a huge amount of time since I'm overcommitted at work, and with 2 podlings I'm participating in (OODT and SIS), but my +1 to move forward with this as it seems useful. I will try and monitor the lists and if I get the time to help out at some point, I'll bug you on list ^_^ Cheers, Chris [1] http://incubator.apache.org/projects/oodt.html On 4/15/10 2:42 PM, "Tom White" <tomwh...@apache.org> wrote: I would like to propose Whirr as an incubator proposal. Whirr will be a set of libraries for running cloud services, such as Hadoop or Cassandra. The initial code (for Hadoop) is hosted as a Hadoop contrib module, but I believe it would flourish as its own project with its own community. The proposal is on the incubator wiki at http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/WhirrProposal. We look forward to hearing feedback and questions on the proposal. Also, we don't have any mentors yet, so please sign up if you are interested in helping out.
