Sorry.

Let me = rephrase.

Part of the exercise is for you, the = student to come up with the idea. Not solicit someone else for a = suggestion.  This is how you = learn. 

The exercise is to get you to = think about the following:

1) What is = Hadoop
2) How does it work
3) Why would you want to = use it

You need to understand #1 and #2 to be = able to #3.

But at the same time... you need to = also incorporate your own view of the world. 
What are = your hobbies? What do you like to do? 
What scares you = the most?  What excites you the most? 
Why are you = here? 
And most importantly, what do you think you can do = within the time period. 
(What data can you easily = capture and work with...) 

Have you ever = seen 'Eden of the East' ? = ;-)
