- Regarding the Java MiniCluster support:
I think there are already a few solutions existing based on Docker,
which are more flexible.
From my side, there is a test integration using Docker Compose for the
Presto-Kudu connector, see [1].
Currently it can spawn a cluster with one or three tservers.
- Regarding pre-build packages for production use:
For my needs, I have already set up a project to provide RPM packages
for CentOS 7 (and rhel7), see [2].
Maybe it can be used as a starting point for a broader support. The tool
chain is probably not sufficient to support other distros.
But I can image to help on such an effort.
I would also like to see some support for performing backups of Kudu tables.
In the project I'm currently involved, we are thinking about a
command-line tool based on Kudu-Spark to export a table or parts of it
to parquet files.
Best,
Martin Weindel
