Sean Mackrory commented on BIGTOP-1422:
---------------------------------------
Parcels are a Cloudera thing - they're basically all the Bigtop / CDH packages
extracted to a common directory and deployed together. You get the ability to
install the bits on any partition (relocatability), have multiple versions
installed (enabling rolling upgrades), and install everything as a common
version of the entire stack, rather than piecemeal. It started as this:
BIGTOP-297. In their current state they would still need a bit of work to be
easily runnable by themselves without any additional tools, and I'm afraid I
wasn't very involved with any of it so I don't know the status of how easy it
would be to apply the work to Bigtop. But that's what they area - this does
sound like the goals are similar.
> 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: build, 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 applications, e.g. .deb and .rpm, are an outdated paradigm, which complicates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.
