------------------------------------------
Summary: Introduce Universal Packaging System for Hadoop
distribution
Key: BIGTOP-1422
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-1422
Project: Bigtop
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: deployment
Affects Versions: 0.8.0
Reporter: Konstantin Boudnik
Priority: Blocker
Fix For: 1.0.0
Looks like the time comes where Bigtop needs to step up and champion new
revolutionary format for packaging of the Hadoop.
New UPS provides completely relocatable archive-like media of distribution for
the content and the services alike. Preparation of an UPS deliverables
shouldn't require any special development tools nor particular SDL: only
cross-platform archives and widely available command-line interpreters would be
a per-requisite for the creation and installation.
In our opinion, the separation of the services and content of the applications,
e.g. .deb and .rpm, are an outdated paradigm, which complicates the deployment
processes, upgrades, and overall system orchestration.
Architectural proposal will follow shortly.
