- pyhs2

- https://github.com/bradruderman/pyhs2

- Python library to programmatically query hive. Skills needed (python, java, thrift, c)

- https://github.com/bradruderman/pyhs2/issues?page=1&state=op...

- I would like a contributor who understands thrift, and how to optimize it. I would like to remove the dependent libraries (sasl + thrift) by building them into the library itself. I would also like to have a resource that can help improve underlying thrift code to improve the library.
