Hi Ambari/Bigtop dev, As per the new roadmap of Apache Ambari, we would like to propose moving certain scripts (previously known as hdp-select and conf-select) to Bigtop so that their rpm installation could be managed independently. These scripts are a basic necessity in the Ambari framework for the installation of various Bigdata packages. The only major changes they would receive is when we onboard new services and components to Ambari, else they usually do not receive updates. In the past, we used to get hdp-select rpm downloaded and installed from HDP repositories.
We have still not officially finalized the new replacement name for hdp-select, it would likely be bdp-select (bdp: BigData Platform). However, the purpose of bdp-select and conf-select remains the same.
