This is excellent. Thanks for reaching out to the Gora community.

OK so GORA-112 was originally filed by myself (I think) with the intention
of easing integration between Gora and more complex (and ultimately useful)
Hadoop/MR jobs.
The road map for this would more or less be a clean slate and would be
driven by yourself (as a GSoC student).
If you are serious about putting together a proposal, I would urge you to
get on to our project wiki and create some documentation of your proposal
here [0].
It would do you a huge justice to head over to our Jira issue tracker and
find some current issues need attention. This will get you semi
familiarized with the Gora code base and also shows to administrators that
you are serious about your GSoC proposal for a Gora project.

Thanks for getting in touch.

Thanks Mattmann , Lewis and Renato.
I will set up Gora and get familiar with the functionality. So I can
involve in resolving some issues.
Still I don't have a clear idea what the GSoc project objectives should be
for this proposal.
Should it be adopting Cascading or Apache Hama as suggested by Renato or
Apache Pig.  Any suggestions will be appreciated ?
I will update the list and the wiki with proper details when I'm clear with
the objectives.

Best Regards,
Udesh Liyanaarachchi

Hi Udesh,

This would be great because you could help us on improving this
feature that we are really needing to upgrade.
But maybe for a GSoC project we could work on empowering Gora to use
Apache Hama to perform computation so as we now have Gora executing
MapReduce computations over HDFS, maybe we could have Hama
computations over HDFS, and of course a part of the project would be
to help us fix the MapReduce part ;)
What do you guys think?
