Are you talking about sub-projects for core, hdfs and mapreduce? Or is
there another way to allow for having separate mailing lists/jiras for
these components?

I had liked the fact that these pieces are together. It makes the code
compile together, keeps API upgradation simple and enhances developer
community building across all these three pieces of code. Actually,
JIRAs have their own components and we can always filter them using
their component, can't we?

thanks,
dhruba
