Simon,
I don't think we should ever turn down an offer of help. I was just
suggesting that although the project is large and complex to build, we
have several "existence proofs" of projects that have done this with
requiring a high performance super computer. But with Apache Hadoop,
maybe, just maybe....hmmm...
In any case, my understanding is that the discussion around the proposal
is about what is possible and impossible, especially trying to identify
and resolve anything that appears impossible or implausible. I'm not
trying to dismiss issues as not being worth of offers of assistance, but
just trying to get us not to dwell on things that we know are not blocking
issues. It is triage.
In the podling itself, once the proposal is approved, we'll hash out in
the project how to do it well. And this will likely require some
experimentation and iteration based on the new infrastructure, as well as
any offer that emerges from 3rd parties, etc., to help with things like
builds. I'd welcome any help LO can offer in this area.
Regards,
-Rob
