Hey Owen, Bigtop's scope is Apache releases. Roman pasted the description of DISTRO-54 into BIGTOP-20 verbatim, the intent was not to support CDH in Bigtop. Since the current Bigtop source is based on CDH the same bug applies which is why he's created the jira. I updated the description to be more clear.
