Hey Imesha, et al, I think the ideas are pretty good. Radix is a good starting point, but there needs to be a useful recipe for people wanting to customise it with their own stuff.
Docker Compose is a good way for spinning up a multi container solution, although without Swarm, you don’t get any redundancy. Kubernetes will give users better scale out support. I’m also testing some cool Juju support for Kubernetes which might make the deployment of this stuff easier on K8S. I’d certainly like to see an out of the box solution which uses the ZK stuff you did, the Avro stuff thats going in and OODT, even if its a way for us to discover the ZK and scale up limitations. I think using Docker will make larger deployments of OODT easier and something we should certainly put some thought into.

As a summary I suggest following steps to move on. 1. Implement ability to build component wise docker images. Tom's idea was to add a docker build profile to RADIX build. I think this will be a good starting point. 2. Add easy deployment capability through docker-compose <https://docs.docker.com/compose/> and kubernetes. We can keep kubernetes for later depending on the effort we can put. This will provide any new comer to run a working example of OODT with a single command. A big plus point from new comers' point of view. 3. Since we have distributed configuration management < https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OODT/OODT+Distributed+Configuration+Management> [2] already implemented, may be we don't need to put any burden of building docker images to users. Instead, they can simply start a generic OODT deployment (say using docker compose) and publish custom configuration (properties, policies, etc) to those running components. However, need to discuss further on this. What do you think? Comments?
