--------------------------------------------
Thanks [~plinnell] for the great pointer
bq. app bundles by L. Poeterring. http://lwn.net/Articles/610067
I pretty thoroughly followed the discussion. And while I am not a n00b to the
system integration, I found a few interesting angles expressed by variety of
Linux developers and distro experts. And I shall say I am looking at the UPS
stuff in a different lights now. The issue apparently is way more complex that
one'd think. Also, as [~bmahe] pointed out above - the buy-in from the users,
devops, and sysadmins alike is *absolutely* critical for the success of such a
thing. Basically, it narrows down to "What are my benefits?" question. And I
don't think my list was convincing enough. Makes you think....
I would love to hear a feedback from people behind the parcels (a very similar
concept, as has been mentioned before): obviously they are doing the most
recent experimenting in the area. Would you guys mind sharing with the
community at large your success and challenge stories?
> 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 applications, e.g. .deb and .rpm, are an outdated paradigm, which complicates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.
