Hi all, I am glad to announce the availability of the first batch of packages of Apache Hadoop 0.23 and Apache HBase 0.92 in Apache Bigtop (incubating). Anyone can deploy the packages and get a cluster up and jobs running in seconds. Please, take into consideration these packages are from an unreleased version of Apache Bigtop (incubating) as well as unreleased versions of upstream projects. They should only be used for testing.
Along the way, quite a few issues have been discovered and fixed. So having Apache Bigtop (incubating) working ahead of upstream projects' releases has proven to be beneficial to everyone. A list of these issues can be found there: https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&jqlQuery=labels+%3D+bigtop Setting up repositories for these packages on CentOS/Fedora should just be a matter of doing the following (provided you have java installed): $ cd /etc/yum.repos.d/ $ sudo wget -O bigtop.repo $URL $ sudo yum install 'hadoop*' 'hbase*' Setting up repositories for these packages on SLES11 should just be a matter of doing the following (provided you have java installed): $ sudo zypper ar -f $URL Where URL can take the following value depending on your operating system: CentOS 5 -> http://bigtop01.cloudera.org:8080/job/Bigtop-23-matrix/label=centos5/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/output/bigtop.repo CentOS 6 -> http://bigtop01.cloudera.org:8080/job/Bigtop-23-matrix/label=centos6/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/output/bigtop.repo Fedora 15 -> http://bigtop01.cloudera.org:8080/job/Bigtop-23-matrix/label=fedora15/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/output/bigtop.repo SLES11 -> http://bigtop01.cloudera.org:8080/job/Bigtop-23-matrix/label=sles11/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/output/bigtop.repo Please don't hesitate to send us any feedback and issue you find. Thanks, Bruno PS: deb packages are almost done but all help would be welcome. All debeian builds for hadoop 0.23 are happening there: http://bigtop01.cloudera.org:8080/job/Bigtop-23-matrix/label=lucid/
