Konstantin Boudnik commented on BIGTOP-640:
-------------------------------------------

The point of the BigTop is to produce traceable and predictable sets of 
components. Thus, providing dynamic versions tracking would do more harm than 
good.

I'd suggest to close this.

> Currently BigTop hardcodes the versions of dependency libraries to use, e.g. 
> https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/bigtop/trunk/bigtop.mk uses 1.0.10 
> for jsvc.  Let's say hypothetically that HDFS fixes a bug by bumping it to 
> 1.0.11, then BigTop would have to be updated manually to reflect that.  I can 
> imagine scenarios where a static definition in BigTop is desired, but a way 
> to automatically pick up the projects' dependencies seem valuable.
