Hi, +1.
Binary package is useful to attack users.. Out of the box should be a target of IoTDB. As IoTDB has some modules, like Hadoop adaptor, Spark adaptor, and Grafana-IoTDB connector, I think we also need to discuss whether do we need to include them all in the binary version. For my opinion, Grafana-IoTDB connector is needed because it is a standalone process, while the two others are just libs.
