Hi all, The overhaul as well as development is almost completed. With several new features added, I'd like to propose to release Bigtop 1.4.0 directly instead of doing 1.3.1 release(https://s.apache.org/2a8K). This helps to promote these new features:
1. Full support to build and test inside docker with one stop seamlessly integration. Now just one command to build and test components: Example: $ ./gradlew spark-ind repo-ind docker-provisioner -POS=ubuntu-16.04 -Pnexus -Penable_local_repo -Pstack=spark-standalone -Psmoke-tests=spark 2. Support to build from git commit hash Example: $ ./gradlew kafka-pkg-ind -Pgit_repo=https://github.com/apache/kafka.git -Pgit_ref=1.1 -Pgit_sha1=4dae083af486eaedd27c69c973c74605bffd416b -Pbase_version=1.1.1 3. Version bumps and tests Hadoop 2.8.5, Kafka 1.1.1, Spark 2.4.0, Alluxio 1.8.1 New smoke tests: Flink, Giraph (Crunch) 4. Loooooooots of bug fixes! If agreed, please +1 and I'll still serve as the RM for 1.4 release, if no preemption ;) Best, Evans
