Tom White commented on BIGTOP-718: ---------------------------------- The board resolution for graduation that was passed at the last board meeting states that the scope of Bigtop covers "integration, packaging, deployment and validation of a big data management software distribution based on Apache Hadoop". That phrase should be used in the Bigtop documentation. > Update wiki for component requirements > -------------------------------------- > > Key: BIGTOP-718 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-718 > Project: Bigtop > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Documentation > Reporter: Sean Mackrory > Assignee: Sean Mackrory > > I think some updates are in order for this Wiki page in order to more > accurately reflect the goals of the project: > https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/BIGTOP/Requirement+for+adding+a+new+component+to+Bigtop+distribution. > For starters, it should have a more prominent link on the Wiki and a summary > on the project home page. Not only is it going to be an increasingly common > question, but it's an important part of defining what "Bigtop" is really all > about. I know when I first started on the project it was the first thing I > looked for. > Second, we say projects have to be "Big Data"-related. Judging by other > documents* and existing discussions regarding new components, it seems like > we really mean to say "Hadoop"-related, and I think the extra focus would be > good (having said that, I do think of Spark as Hadoop-related). > * https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/BIGTOP/Index -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
