Hi Bigtop !
As you all know, I used to work on bigtop and ever since have been spending alot of time working on kubernetes and cloud native application engineering. One thing I'm noticing is that the quality of docker images for ASF projects varies, and* it seems like a distributed systems / cloud native viewpoint isn't expressed in the Dockerfiles for some projects.* - Some docker files expect ROOT or a specific UID as an option. - Some docker files chmod/chown things unnecessarily, meaning they can't run in all clusters. - and so on ... I feel like bigtop is a good place to mitigate some of these problems for the ASF community. *Is anyone in BigTop interested in BigTop curated dockerfiles for "real" Zookeeper, SOLR, etc deployments ? * If so, we can curate our own official Docker images that honor the distributed systems 'rules of thumb' , in the same way that we build RPM/DEB packages for this purpose. Our engineering teams would be happy to help in effort to curate such images as well as set up CI for them... In particular, *I think bigtop-official images for SOLR and Zookeeper are a good starting point, *as those are very common in containerized environments. After that I think Spark, HBase, Hadoop and so on might be interesting. Interested in thoughts around this and wether or not its valuable to the community? -- jay vyas
