Description

At CRS4, Distributed Computing Group, we developed and tested a simple patch that adds Grid Engine support to HOD. Since porting HOD to SGE is listed in the Project Suggestions page, we decided to share the patch with the community. After patching, HOD passes all unit tests at our site, and we tested the SGE driver on a production cluster consisting of about 400 nodes. The patch should preserve Torque functionality, although we were not able to test this on production.

NOTE: the patch is for the official hadoop-0.20.1 HOD release. It should be easy, however, to generate patches for other versions.
