KLAAS BOSTEELS: DUMBO: HADOOP STREAMING MADE ELEGANT AND EASY.
At Last.fm, the number of "write once, run never again" Hadoop
programs has been growing steadily, especially in the research team.
Since Java is a very verbose and compiled programming language, it is not very suitable for writing such programs. A better way to quickly write MapReduce programs is provided by Hadoop Streaming, but it still is less convenient than it could be. Dumbo is a simple enhancement to Hadoop Streaming that addresses this issue. More specifically, it is a Python module that makes Hadoop Streaming elegant and easy.

MARK BUTLER: DISTRIBUTED LUCENE FOR HADOOP.
This talk describes a parallel, distributed free text index written at
HP Labs Bristol called Distributed Lucene. Distributed Lucene is based
on two Apache open source projects, Hadoop and Lucene, and follows a
design originally proposed by Doug Cutting. It was written to gain a
better understanding of the Apache Hadoop architecture, and to
investigate approaches to creating large, scalable free text indexes.
For more information see the accompanying HP Labs technical report.

TIM SELL: POSTGRESQL TO HBASE REPLICATION.
PostgreSQL to HBase replication:
At last.fm we are interested in ways of mixing our data in PostgreSQL
with our data in Hadoop. We would like to replicate our PostgreSQL
data to HBase, to protect our database from load and give us
Map/Reduce bindings on the data.
