The main changes with respect to the previous version are: * support for CDH4 (MapReduce v1 only) * tested with the latest releases of other supported Hadoop versions * simpler build process * Pydoop scripts can now accept user-defined configuration parameters * new wrapper object makes it easier to interact with the JobConf * new hdfs.path functions: isdir, isfile, kind * HDFS: support for string description of permission modes in chmod * several bug fixes This is a release candidate. We're working on binary packages for the final release. As usual, we're happy to receive your feedback on the forum: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pydoop/forums/forum/990018 Pydoop is a Python MapReduce and HDFS API for Hadoop, built upon the C++ Pipes and the C libhdfs APIs, that allows to write full-fledged MapReduce applications with HDFS access. Pydoop has been maturing nicely and is currently in production use at CRS4 as we have a few scientific projects that are based on it, including Seal (http://biodoop-seal.sourceforge.net), Biodoop-BLAST (http://biodoop.sourceforge.net/blast), and more yet to be released.
