All Things Hadoop

Episode #12 of the podcast is a talk with Mark Grover and Roman Shaposhnik  Available also on iTunes

Apache Bigtop is a project for the development of packaging and tests of the Apache Hadoop ecosystem.

The primary goal of Bigtop is to build a community around the packaging and interoperability testing of Hadoop-related projects. This includes testing at various levels (packaging, platform, runtime, upgrade, etc…) developed by a community with a focus on the system as a whole, rather than individual projects.

BigTop makes it easier to deploy Hadoop Ecosystem projects including:

• Apache Zookeeper

• Apache Flume

• Apache HBase

• Apache Pig

• Apache Hive

• Apache Sqoop

• Apache Oozie

• Apache Whirr

• Apache Mahout

• Apache Solr (SolrCloud)

• Apache Crunch (incubating)

• Apache HCatalog

• Apache Giraph

• LinkedIn DataFu

• Cloudera Hue

The list of supported Linux platforms has expanded to include:

• CentOS/RHEL 5 and 6

• Fedora 17 and 18

• SuSE Linux Enterprise 11

• OpenSUSE 12.2

• Ubuntu LTS Lucid (10.04) and Precise (12.04)

• Ubuntu Quantal (12.10)
