Thread: HadoopDB ("PostgreSQL...shared-nothing cluster... accepts queries in MapReduce or SQL")

This looks exciting.  Another postgresql-other-software-chimera with
impressive performance and scalability.

Me too - which is making me quite interested in if there's a mailing list
or community that'll spring up around this... I don't see one on their project
site ( http://db.cs.yale.edu/hadoopdb/hadoopdb.html ) - so I wonder if
we (those of us who are interested) could try this thing out and if it looks
promising, possibly adopt the project on pgfoundry or something if they don't
build a community around it.
