Apache Hama

I came to know Apache Hama back in 2010 when I was looking for a robust Java framework for running parallel algorithms for doing matrix multiplications for very huge matrixes. From then on I followed the project but kept silent for a while on the mailing lists just trying to understand what the project status was and also if/how BSP based algorithms could be the right fit for my use cases.

I then joined in as a mentor on March 2011 because the project was lacking of active mentors able to give help on the community empowering and on the release process.

Now I am a very passionate user and developer (I am using it in a production system for doing parallel exports/imports from MongoDB to Apache Solr) and I look forward to see the community grow and the project become a TLP.
