Hi, I'm an Apache Flink committer and I'd be very happy to see Flink enter Bigtop. We have seen quite some interest in Bigtop in the Flink community. I've been checking out Bhupendra Singh's pull request which followed this thread: https://github.com/apache/bigtop/pull/93
The packaging of Flink remains one of the biggest hurdles for people who want to install and run Flink on a cluster. Thus, that was my main focus when reviewing the PR. Apart from a few issues I found, the pull request looks good. It would be great if we could bring it into a mergeable state. I wonder if it makes sense to break this pull request into several pull requests? For example, one for the packaging, one for the puppet scripts, and another one for the smoke tests. That could make reviewing of the changes easier and people could already try out incremental changes. I'd be happy to help out with the packaging and scripting. What do you think about that? Thanks, Max
