jython license review

[stack <st...@duboce.net>]

Over in hbase-land we're evaluating replacements for our SQL-like shell 
(HBASE-487).   An amended jython is a possibility but  I was wondering 
if the license was Apache-amenable?  It looks OK to me -- 
http://www.jython.org/Project/license.html -- but I'm not an expert.

JRuby and beanshell for sure won't work because of license.

Groovy is a possibility; its Apache licensed and integration was 
straight-forward.

Anything else folks thing we should be looking at?

Thanks,

having a FTP client that was HDFS aware would also be useful I would 
think. while distcp can do the job, some sysadmins are stuck in their 
ways ;-)

FTP Server for Hadoop

["Goel, Ankur" <An...@corp.aol.com>]

Hi hadoop devs,
           I am planning to develop an FTP server that runs on top
of HDFS. The intent is to expose an FTP interface to HDFS so that any
remote
client who does not know of hadoop/HDFS can upload data into HDFS.
For FTP client it will be just one big disk.

The idea is to leverage what is already available in Apache
http://mina.apache.org/ftpserver.html
and build on top of it.

Is there something like already available in Hadoop ? 

If not, then will it be useful for hadoop to have such a thing ?

If yes then I can open up a JIRA issue for the same.

Thanks
-Ankur
