It takes a ton of work and discussion, etc., to release Hadoop and M/R. OTOH, MRUnit is a pretty small-ish contrib that could be released more frequently, and could attract more contributors that don't necessarily need to understand every single in and out of Hadoop to help out the project, and grow the community. > but if it has a > mostly distinct community (which seems to be the case), and you guys > think that might grow, then I support its incubation. +1, thanks Bertrand. I think that's the point -- give MRUnit a chance to hang around at Apache since it's totally related to Hadoop and could benefit the Hadoop community as a downstream product.
